Gloves are finished!





Here are pics of the gloves I finished last week. I took a class at the local yarn shop to learn how to do this. I had knitted socks but could not understand how to do the fingers on a glove. I'm happy with them overall, for being my first pair. But there is room for improvement. I think the fingertips could be a little smoother and they are custom fit to my hands which are small and short fingers so they look a little deformed in size when you look at them not on my hands. They are made using sock yarn which makes them stretchy. Worked on size 1 Double point needles. The yarn is Super wash wool, so I can wash them and dry them and they won't felt up. I would like to make a pair for my husband but I'm not sure he would wear them. Anyway, I'm glad I learned how to do this it has been on my to do list for a while.
Have a great day!
