Fingerless Gloves…My New Favorite

I have found a replacement for socks… well, as a knitting project at least.  I have been making fingerless gloves.  I have found that they are quick, easy projects that can range from simple to complex.  And of course they work great with all those great self-striping sock yarns!

Last week I picked up some yarn from the yarn store that was 40% off, intending to get started on some Christmas gifts.  The first pattern I tried was Fetching, after all 7000+ projects on Ravelry is a pretty good indication that it’s a good pattern right?

The yarn worked out great, striping almost perfectly, but I think it’s too busy for the pattern…the cables are almost indistinguishable.  But they are still fun and nice and cozy.  My daughter saw them and promptly requested a pair for herself.  I told her she could have this pair (since they were a bit small) and “maybe” one day I’d make her a pair in her favorite colors.  Enter fingerless gloves number 2:

I made this pair using a much more basic pattern and I loved how they turned out.  And of course the sock yarn was perfect…and pinks and purples are always a hit with nine-year-old girls!  Now all I need to do is get started on those Christmas gifts…
