Somewhat fancy Smancy anyway. These are for me. Yes. I'm claiming them right now. The fair isle patterns are ideas from various charts. Again I did not use a pattern so when I reached the thumb insertion I became intimidated and confused. With that one of my thumbs is a little wonky. I plan on taking it down and redoing it. I've been using 12 stitches for each finger but around 15-16 for the thumb which is about 2 or 3 stitches too many. It makes a difference. I don't know how soon I'll make another pair but I do know it will be by pattern. In fact I plan on reading through a few glove patterns for self improvement.
These were done on US 4s with Patons Classic Wool. The skein was around 219 yards but I used approximately 200 yards. The contrasting yarn was a scrap from my stash. I have no idea what it was.
Practice. Practice. Practice.
Have a Wonderful weekend !
