FO Friday: Penny Gloves
I finished these fingerless mitts up the end of last month, and while I do like wearing these types of gloves, the motivation behind this project was to try out using a fluffy yarn. Many knitters like to hold a mohair or an alpaca silk lace weight yarn with a traditional merino yarn and I’d never done that before this project. This project was to see if I like it as a test before doing an entire sweater and I’ll be honest, I’m not sure. I made the Penny Gloves by PetiteKnit because I had enough leftover from my Dala Sweater that I could pair with a fluffy yarn and see what I think of the combination. I used Fyberspates Cumulus and I love how soft it is. The gloves themselves are great. If I make them again I’d shorten them a touch, but otherwise they’re great. As for the decision about this yarn combination, we’ll see.
