Finally, I finished this pair of gloves for my mom! I made her a slouchy hat out of the same Berroco Vintage yarn a month or so ago. My intention was to complete these gloves quickly, but.....things didn't work out that way. These are not a Christmas gift, just a "because" gift. Mom's deserve those too!
The pattern is
Classy Cabled Gloves by FantasyFlyte Designs. A pay pattern from Ravelry. It's always so hard for me to pick up a project that I have set aside for some time. Where was I? What was I doing? What did I perhaps do different from the pattern's instructions? I always wonder how those of you with multiple projects manage to pick things up in midstream and complete them. I would just struggle too much, I am sure.
Anyway, they are finished now, and hopefully she will enjoy them. She is really "into" hats right now, and matching gloves are always a good thing. I hope to make another hat and gloves set - this time in a green Cascade 220 superwash wool for her for Christmas. Since the Advent Calender is finished (Yipeeeee!!!) there should be sufficient time. That being my last Christmas project, I am looking forward to some quality spinning time. It's been awhile......

Those are so lovely. What a lucky Mom, although I'm sure she deserves them. As one who always has multiple projects going, I can attest to the fact that it doesn't always go smoothly and I can spend hours trying to figure out exactly where I was. I'm hoping my new knitting app for my iPad will help keep me more organized. I could just do one project at a time, but that ain't gonna happen!
Your Mom's gloves are gorgeous, Kathy! I am sure she will enjoy them as well as her slouchy hat.
I am like you and usually finish each project before moving on to another. I did make an exception while knitting the two pullovers recently but they were easy enough to pick back up.
They are classically beautiful gloves!
I know what you mean - I have a pair of gloves with 2 fingers done on each that have been in a project bag for 2 years and I dread trying to figure out where I was with them.
Beautiful, Kathy! Nice finish.
They look warm and the neutral color will go with so many things. Love them
