If you happen to remember last year I started on a pair of blue bamboo knitted gloves from the book Knitting New Mittens and Gloves. Well those got put on the back burner as winter became spring and outdoor activates took precedence. Now that fall is officially here I once again picked up my knitting basket. To my dismay I am not able to find the already started gloves. They are here somewhere, but my two year old has taken a liking to my yarn and everything made from it. I needed a last minute gift for a friend’s birthday so I went to work on these purple fingerless gloves. I probably should have gone to the store and bought something as I stayed up way past my bedtime to finish them, but I love giving and receiving handcrafted items. She loved them which made the late hours worth all the effort.

Knitting a Pair of Gloves
I have chosen the Glaistig design as my first pair. They are constructed out of an English Mesh Lace Pattern. I think I have lost my mind as I am teaching myself how to knit lace as I go along, hence the start and stop approach. I am using a bamboo silk combination yarn in a light shade of steel blue. Blue is not my usual color, but I have a navy jacket that I wanted a new pair of gloves for and the light blue color is a very nice contrast. Once I finish them I will post a picture.
