I've had a request from one of my eBay customers for some fingerless gloves to match the scarf she just bought. So, I've been playing around trying to come up with a pattern I like. I have to knit it with much smaller needles, but still wanted the lacy look that the scarf has and I think I've achieved that.
The problem I am having is that the yarn has no elasticity at all. I have to make the glove big enough so it slides over the hand, but then it needs to be snug on the arm so it doesn't fall and bunch around the wrist. So far, no luck. I've ordered some black elastic thread to knit into the end of the glove, so it will be snug and I might decrease a little more through the middle.
Do any of you knitters out there have any suggestions?! Still, this is the first time I'm knitting something without a pattern and I've had the most fun experimenting with it!Tomorrow, I'll have an award to pass on (I have been very remiss in that) and maybe I can show you the commission I've been working on. I hope you are having a great weekend!!
