Fingerless Gloves ~ Progress



an update on the fingerless gloves in progress. last week I showed you some samples in this post, I was trying to figure out what stitch to use for this project and invicta colour yarn by Scheepjeswol

I ended up making one glove with thumb (to the right in the picture below). I like it, however it is too short to my liking and I am not a big fan of the 'lines' in between the bobble stitches. as a result, I started a longer glove without the lines (left). a few more rows till I am finished. question is: to crochet a thumb or not to crochet a thumb? what is your idea on that? 

and I couldn't resist starting a second design with the wave pattern (middle), but it is quite the puzzle. I have said some nasty words in the past few hours to get it right. it is too wide for my wrist now, so I have to unravel it one more time I hope. and then let's see how that one will work out.



in the mean time I am still struggling with the saturation and other settings of the photo's of this project, I hope it doesn't hurt your eyes too much looking at these images on your screen...


oh and don't you like these rather special ranunculus? I had never seen them before and like their frills.

  1. YOu are such a perfectionist. What lines? I don't see any lines? Is it the slight seam you mean in the right glove. That line that no one but you can see? Ha ha ha! I love the thumb. Add a thumb. The yarn is gorgeous. Love the autumn colors. Well done. And the shell stitch adventure... I started also a shell stitch fingerless glove a few weeks ago. Got half way and stopped. It is a bit of a puzzle. Take a deep breath. You will figure it out.

  7. Are you going to post a pattern when they are finished? I still have 2 skeins of Invicta here (bought them impulsively 2 years ago and I don't know what to do with them now) and I would loooooooove to make beautiful handwarmers with them!

  9. Lovely colors! My go to gift for the holidays this year are arm warmers, without a thumb. Super easy to whip up in worsted weight. I am known forgiving hand made scarves, but I was really looking for a change. Thanks for sharing.

    Best,
