I used the pattern Augusta by Lena Marie Gjerald to knit these gloves in two colours. It uses a mock cable that is easy to knit and looks good. The gloves fit well because of the ribbed pattern, but can look a bit odd when not worn.
I spun a batch of wool and dyed it charcoal yesterday afternoon. I put it out on the line this morning. There should be enough for the three pairs of fingerless gloves that have been ordered and, hopefully, enough left over for a pair for the market basket.
Lovely! I can see where charcoal is a good color for everyday wear, and it can look very elegant. However, I would still go for the blue!
ReplyDeleteThe gloves look quite nice. And the spinning/dyeing will be wonderful in the glove pattern.
ReplyDeleteTwo colors create an energetic impression, I think I'll use your idea in the future.
ReplyDeleteOh good, I like giving others ideas!
