Sandi, I like the glove`s pattern and think just maybe, I could make them! If I can do this pattern, then just maybe, I could make some gloves for my Sunday School class next Christmas. I teach 1st and 2nd grade.mary jo m.

Hi Sandi, I have just finished a pair of fingerless gloves (w/o the tips) very fun and worked up quick. Now I am adjusting the pattern to suit me while making my next pair, that is the fearless knitter in me is moving.I tend to just follow the pattern and not change it, even if it isn't quite what I wanted.
For the small holes between the fingers I found that if I left a little longer tail when I joined the yarn to pick up the finger stitches it could be used to hide the hole when woven in when I was finished. Sharon K

Sandi, Thanks for all the tips about knitting gloves. This kind of information is really great! I've never made a pair of gloves, but this made me want to try it! The Little Gems Mitts are really cute. I might start with those.

Hi Sandy,

I made some lace gloves last summer. I used dental floss for my stitch holders. The waxed kind. It worked great,except my dog,Gimli, really liked the mint flavor! I really had to watch him and make sure he did not try to eat it!

Thanks for all you do and keep up the good work!

Gloves really aren't harder than,say, socks. No heel turning for one thing. I made a pair of elbow length lace gloves for my daughter to wear with her wedding dress. I was feeling really like a SOMEONE until I heard at my lys about someone who knit a wedding dress. Oh well

Hello, all,

Actually, I have no problem when someone says that they think a pattern is ugly (or even "the ugliest") - that's their opinion and they can express it, no? I don't see anything "RUDE" about that. For me, being "rude" means being insulting, demeaning, patronizing, etc. to a PERSON, not expressing an opinion about a THING.

I TOTALLY agree with the poster who commented on the RUDE comment. Where do people get the sense of entitlement to make a comment like that???!!! Would you ever say that to someone in person? Probably not. The internet is such a wonderful source of information, like this site, but it can breed such lack of manners and humanity. Really, none of us cares if you don't like the gloves. I'm not in love with everything showcased on this site. Just like I don't love everything article of clothing at my favorite store, but I wouldn't go run and tell the manager that something is the "ugliest I've seen". Really, behave on the net like you would in person. Its the advice I give my teenage kids. Its pretty bad when you have to dish that advice to the supposed "adults" who also post on this site.

To Sandi and all the women behind this magazine and website--keep up the excellent work!! Some of us truly appreciate it.

I love the look of these gloves. I'm wondering if you could sub cotton for the wool, though.

They are indeed lovely, delicate, etc. but I know myself, and if I were to knit one of those I'd probably get three rows in and the guys in white coats would come to take me away! I say 'one' because I know I'd never get to the other glove. But hey, chacun a' son gout!

These gloves take me back to the days when my sister and I got new Easter dresses, hats, gloves, and little purses to match! These were rare treats in our home, as our family was of modest means. But, oh my, did we feel special when adorned with all the new lovelies! I would wear these gloves. I think they are lovely and fun, and I love the button idea at the slit! And, Sandi, you hooked me with 'perpetual bragging rights' --- who can resist THAT?? Thanks for all you do!

To the person wondering about holes between the fingers: I start at the wrist and make up gloves as I go, so I don't know what patterns say to do, but I always use 10-12 stitches per finger, so I only keep about 7 or 8 on the waste yarn, then pick up stitches from the edges nearby around there to make the holes between fingers much smaller. If I do wind up with a small hole, I then just stitch it up without trouble (a much bigger hole would be trouble).
