my first fingerless gloves

I am outrageously pleased

with how my first fingerless gloves turned out.

Well, technically this is my second pair;

I used the same pattern and yarn for the first set,

but they turned out uncomfortably small for me,

so a I gave them to a friend with tiny hands

who will be able to enjoy them much more.

(It's a lot harder than I thought it would be

to take photos of myself wearing them.)

I used this pretty Three Leaf Mitt pattern.

It was very well written,

and I discovered that following

what I believe is something like a lace chart

is nowhere near as hard as I feared!

To make my second pair larger,

I simply added an extra rib on the palm (3 knits and 1 purl).

I also added an extra three rows

to the all-around ribbing at the top and the bottom

because I liked the way it looked and fit better that way.

Fingerless gloves are so quick and fun.

I could easily get addicted to making them.
