Here are my new pair of gloves which I just finished knitting yesterday.
I knitted with the excess wool that I had from my doctor who scarf so now I've got a whole winter set safe for the hat which is my next knitting project!
As you can see, it's all done in fair isle which was simple to do. The middle part was a bit difficult though as I was using three strands of yarn at once so it was hard to keep the tension loose.
Sorting out the finger holes were a bit tricky too. The pattern I was using wasn't the clearest so I had to spend a lot of time just deciphering it! Speaking of deciphering, my sisters and I have just been doing exactly that working out how you spell the blinking word!
I couldn't have made the gloves at a better time actually. I've been feeling really cold recently what with the transitions of the season starting.
So what do you think of the modeling then??

You'll be taking orders next!! The gloves look very impressive-you might have to make some ends for them as you;ve a very stingy Mum who won't put the heating on yet!!!
You begrudgingly put the heating on if I ask enough times.
Are you hinting for a pair mum??!
They look very cosy - good for driving or cycling as you get better control with free fingers I should think.
what is next? - a big chunky norwegian style jumper?
hey that would be cool! I might just do that you know!
Those sort of jumpers are coming back into fashion. I've picked the perfect time to start knitting clothes!
