The First Pair
The first pair is complete. I think the hand part looks ok, but the wrists are too puffy. I'm going to make some changes and see if I can improve them.
The matching pair! - fabulous. If you were to lengthen the hand part just an inch or so, so that it actually ended right at the wrist, then perhaps you could pick a nice wide edging pattern to finish off? Although I suppose you would then have the problem of decreasing the mignonette so that it fitted more snugly at the wrist.And if you made it too narrow, then it wouldn't go over the hand. All beyond me, I am neither a designer nor a mathematician - but I wear gloves all the time! I'd love to see these in colours - even tatted with sock yarn, using a big Tatsy.
Yeah, the trick is to be able to get the glove on without the wrist part being too full! When I get the pattern right, I'll try colours. How about rainbow??
Those are amazing! I'm sure you'll get the wrist part the way you like it, but for now... amazing!
ReplyDeletethanks!
DeleteAbsolutely gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteYou inspired me to tat one:)
Oh good, I'd love to see what other tatters come up with!
DeleteReally neat for a first try!!! :)
ReplyDeleteIt looks great! I imagine it must be pretty tricky to get the dimensions right =S
ReplyDeleteWOW!
