Thanks to @sheepBlue for answering my yarn question a few weeks ago so that I actually started these gloves for a November birthday instead of just overthinking it for another 6 months like I usually do. The recipient loves purple and I loved this sparkly sock wool for it but wasn’t sure it could work. It did!
Yarn: Universe Sock Wool (Link to Hobbii) colorway 18. I rewound the ball holding the two ends together. I lucked out in that the two ends were the same-ish colors in order. There’s a bit of variegation throughout, but subtle, I like it.
Pattern: Fetching (Links to Ravelry) by Cheryl Niamath

Thanks for looking!

So pretty! The yarn is fun; love the sparkle! Maybe someday I’ll be able to knit as well as you do. (Doubt it, though.)

I guess I’m rubbing off on some people or maybe @Magpie felt I wasn’t doing a good enough job encouraging you with the :socks:

With a heel and a toe, fingerless mitts can be socks…just saying…

They turned out lovely! Your friend is going to be thrilled to have something pretty and useful!

turned out great! lovely color

I need to do more doubling up of yarn like this, since I have so many skeins of fingering weight & don’t enjoy making socks!
Also, I have had this pattern in my favorites for 12 years! High time to make it, I think.

These are great! I’m sure they’ll be well loved. I think the subtle variegation throughout is really great in person. It always adds a little more interest to a piece, in my opinion.

Those turned out great! I knit with yarns held double a lot. Its a great way to cheat having to buy new yarn if you’re trying to stash bust :grimacing:
