My first foray into knitting gloves, albeit fingerless ones was somewhat of a success. I'm not sure I enjoyed it enough to knit more of these babies, but I do like them.

Four girls will be very happy this Christmas!

This ball of yarn only cost $1 and I have quite a bit left over.

These are the first ones that I knit.  As usual with me, the first glove needed to be taken out a few times before I got the hang of it.  Then after it was complete and I put it on, I realized that there were HUGE holes between the fingers.  Bummer!!  I put it aside and started the second one.  That one went a bit better, no holes, but one of the fingers is slightly shorter than all the rest.  I fixed the finger problem and went back to the first one and sewed the holes shut.  They are fine now, but boy, the finishing took quite a bit of time!

These are sparkly and blue and I know my 16 year old will simply love them!

These are my favorites!  I like the crazy colors and they are very soft.  Can't wait to see if the recipient likes them as much as I do.

All stacked up!
Only a few more sewn items and I will be done with gifts!!!

ooooh they are just fab.
Not been brave enough to try gloves with even that much of a finger yet.
Well done
Never mind your 16yr old, *I* want the rainbow ones! Good job! :D
My next venture is gloves, wish me luck!
You've done an awesome job!
Great job on the gloves. I made one half a pair a way back and that was enough for me. Maybe it was the pattern....
