With the success of the rose window hat…..

……using this Tunis breed hand painted yarn, I am now keen to make matching gloves. The bright green sock yarn that I paired it with for the hat is almost gone. So I will need another coordinating yarn if I want to add colorwork to the gloves.
After a lengthy rummage to the back of my yarn closet, I came up with some two-ply wool in a pleasing shade of teal. This yarn is Palette, from Knitpicks. Almost a full skein, it has been languishing in the back of the stash for at least seven years. How fortunate that the color goes so well with the multi-hued Tunis.
You see that a cuff is underway. I made an I-cord about 7 inches long, joined its ends and picked up stitches all along. The 2 x 2 rib will give enough stretch. Now I must decide on the stitch pattern for the palm.
I plan to use a basic glove pattern similar to this one.
Instead of regular stripes, I will go with a mosaic, or slip stitch, pattern. I have a hankering to try this one, designed by Naomi at String Geekery. It is called Sea.

I like the vertical element and think it will work well in a glove.
Hm, best make a swatch first. See you later,

Nice color combo. I am always glad to find uses for oddball leftovers.

Whoa, gloves, yikes. That seems like a hard project. I think I once made one glove. No second glove. So you go!!

I have a some practice making gloves. It’s just like mittens, only you make 4 little tubes on top.

I just can’t imagine how you can make gloves. All those fingers! Blankets, yes. Gloves with fingers, no.

It helps to have a pattern that is trust-worthy. I’ll admit I am having a tough time with this project, but that’s mostly due to dark yarn and poor lighting.

That part makes sense.
