Even before I finished my first project, Liessa gave me cute wool and this pattern: Fetching fingerless gloves. This looked like a big challenge to me because it featured knitting in the round -and- knitting cables. Also I was really unsure about how the thumb of the glove should be made. But I thought, what the hell, there’s always someone to ask if I get stuck.
It turns out I never got stuck at all. The pattern is very clear and I did every stitch myself, including the cable cast on, the special bind off at the top and picking up stitches for the thumb. I taught myself all the stitches (cables, casting on, knitting in the round) using YouTube videos. I love the internets!
So this is the result, cute innit? ^_^

Ah, they’re finally finished! :D
