<\/a><\/center>\nSpecs:
\nPattern: Eve<\/a> by Julia Mueller<\/a> from Laris Designs<\/a>, purchased on Ravelry (My project Rav link<\/a>)
\nSize: Small
\nYarn: The never-ending ball of Bendigo Luxury 4 ply<\/a> in Black, about 65g
\nNeedles: 2.25mm Square Kollage DPNS
\nExtras: 8\/0 silver lined seed beads, purchased on eBay
\nMods: The only modification I made was to the tips of the fingers – I tapered the decreases a little more, that’s all.
\nVerdict: The pattern is a winner! They look great, and they aren’t too difficult – as long as you pay attention to the charts! I went off on my merry way a time or two, and had to rip back to make adjustments.
\nThe one thing I learned in Bendigo was that you can’t operate an iPhone whilst wearing gloves. So maybe next time I knit a pair, I might leave off just the fingertip of the right index finger so that I can use the phone without taking off my gloves!!
\nThe yarn I’m not so happy with. They were worn pretty constantly for three days, and they’ve pilled up pretty badly in the hands, which is a shame. The yarn is pure wool, but I think the friction of using your hands all the time is just a bit much for it to take. It’s a pity, because the yarn is nice yarn, and the gloves are lovely to wear, but they don’t look quite so pretty any more!
\nThat said, this really is the never ending ball of yarn. After making Em’s Veyla mitts and Ishbel beret<\/a>, and this pair of gloves, I still have about 50g leftover.
\nThe funny thing was that Ailsa<\/a> also made herself new gloves for Bendigo, and ended up with a pair by the same designer, entirely by coincidence.
\nAnd I may make another pair by Julia Mueller, because all of her glove designs are gorgeous!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
A few of you asked if I got the gloves done in time. I’m pleased to say that I did, even if they were finished at 11.30pm the night before we left. And the fingers on the second glove might be just a smidgen shorter than the fingers on the first one!
