Let my proudly present my first knitted glove!
(According to the pattern by Kimberly)
Okay, it's not a proper glove, because it has no fingers - or rather half a thumb, so you should call it a wrist-and-thumb-and-half-of-the-fingers-warmer ^^, but anyway... It IS my FIRST glove!
Desi asked about the yarn - I don't know whether you ever used this one, but it's a Turkish yarn calles Jasmin, 50% wool/50% acrylic, 100m/50g, very soft one. I bought it at my local supplier (very small yarn shop at my local market place, filled with different yarns in EVERY possible space!... ^^).
I know, it's black so you can't see much (it's so difficult to take a good photo of a black thing), but it's a perfect fingerless cabled glove! ^^ Well, it still needs a thumb (you can see the pink yarn where it goes - let it be the March contribution for Project Spectrum... ;-> ), and frankly speaking I had a moment of hesitation when I was just about to knit the thumb gusset... I had to figure out the description in the pattern, but when I started it all went very smoothly.
Now, the problem is... it's a bit too big for me!... And I even used needles 3,5 mm, and in the pattern Kimberly suggested 4 mm. I'm going to knit another pair but using thinner yarn and we'll see. So, either they will go to my husband (when they are both finished), or I have my first Christmas gift ready - am I an early bird or what?!... ^^
I took photos of things around my house that match the March red and pink theme for Project Spectrum, enjoy!
Nice wrist warmer!
ReplyDeleteI was reading your last post...that is neat that there are Polish knitting magazines. I don't know why I wouldn't think there were any, but I've just never seen any before (on blogs)! I agree, the green and chocolate sweaters are awesome...very unusual design.
Hey those are lovely! I really like the cable running down the middle, it's like a hair-braid, no? What yarn was it? It is quite luminous.
ReplyDeleteTo Lobstah - we have several different knitting magazines in Poland, some of them are on German or French licence, and this one is a small one called "A Lady in a Jumper", it is on Italian licence, as I can see. There are often interesting projects in it.
