Handwarming

October 19th, 2008 by May

My classerooms are so ridiculously cold that we often wear our coats and hats in class. I do not look forward to colder weather. It was time for some fingerless gloves/mitts for those cold classrooms where I have to type notes. At least I try to be prepared for colder weather.

I found this pattern on line and though it was super cute, so I decided it was perfect for the nice yarn that Cynthia got for me. I’ve been waiting to find just the perfect pattern for this yarn that I’ve been saving.

Pattern:
Kyla (on rav)
Yarn:
Handmaiden Fine Yarn Casbah Sock
Needles:
US size 1 dpns
Date Started:
October 11, 2008
Date Finished:
October 16, 2008
Modifications:
Shortened the cuffs by making only 6 rounds of ribbing.
Will I make it again?
Never. I honestly haven’t been so frustrated by a pattern in ages. Lovely pattern. Poorly executed instructions. Too bad. I will enjoy wearing them but will not be making another pair like I had hoped.

There’s enough yarn left that I can make another set of fingerless gloves in another pattern. I’ll be needing another pair to rotate. So, off to find another pattern which may interesting to make in between writing papers.

    These look lovely. I’m glad you’ve put the yarn to use.
