So, November is particularly difficult for my knitting ethic. However, once it started getting cold out, I decided that I needed some new fingerless gloves. Even better, I wanted to actually use some of my handspun for them! Two days later I was able to proudly wear these!
I improvised these fingerless gloves in a basic ribbing pattern, which worked really well with some bulky wool handspun I finished a few weeks ago.
This is the first spin-to-knit project that I have ever actually liked as a finished product. I've already gotten several compliments on them and I only finished them hours ago!
I'm also one of those crazy people that once I finish a project I HAVE to wear it as soon as I can (sometimes I don't even weave in the ends before I wear it because I'm so excited!). I do block my projects eventually, but not until I take exhaustive photos and dance around with glee. Today was certainly one of those occasions.

I've been meaning to make a pair of fingerless gloves with Scotland yarn for awhile now, but time just slipped away from me. These are amazing by the way :) I love the colors.
ReplyDeletePretty!
ReplyDeleteWow, I'm impressed. Your ability to spin-to-knit is wonderful and I don't think you're crazy at all! I, too, HAVE to wear my knitted goodies once I'm done binding off (even when the FO is meant to be for someone else). Hey, I have to give them a trial run, don't I? : )
ReplyDeletethose are very pretty, I really love the colors!!!
