The wool is spun and I'm ready to knit fingerless gloves for next month's market. I wanted to try Celtic Knot Fingerless Gloves from Start Knitting website. I did think the number of stitches was a bit low, but since it's a complicated pattern, I thought I'd best knit it as written to begin with. Hmm. I have small hands and it's a very tight squeeze for me, so I don't think this would be good for the market stall. I worked out mentally how to make a bigger size, but when I came to knit, I realised that in order to get the ribbing to flow into the cable pattern, I would have to add 16 stitches. That's 56 stitches, which I think should be alright, given that cabling pulls the work in a bit. So I'm going around again:
Of course, I could have just knitted on bigger needles, but I didn't want it to look too loose. I hope this will work.
That's a lovely pattern. I do love cables.
ReplyDeleteYou took the right decision! 😍
ReplyDeleteperhaps too small to sell; however, beautiful!!!
ReplyDeleteCables are always beautiful. It's worth putting them all up for sale, maybe there will be smaller and larger buyers.
