Not much to say in this post except that I finished my fingerless gloves! It took me about a week to finish them, but it was well worth it. I’m looking forward to making more in the future, the biggest challenge I’m finding though is getting decent synthetic yarn in darker colors. For these gloves I used a 25% merino wool 75% acrylic yarn, which worked great, but still has that wool feel to it that I don’t particularly care for. The pattern I’m using (which I really like) calls for a light worsted/DK yarn, and with the exception of wool blends, which I’m trying to stay away from in the future, the majority of yarns in the stores are baby yarns, which come in pastels, not the dark rich colors I’d like to make these gloves out of. If anyone has any suggestions on a decent light worsted/DK synthetic yarn please let me know!
