Gauntlets

A lovely colleague of mine is always wearing her 2$ gloves in our freezing cold office. She noticed me wearing my Wine and Roses Mitts and I volunteered to make her some mitts for the office. She's a stylish girl and loves pink so I used a pattern from Knit1's first issue, Picot Edge Gauntlets. I did have to make a few modifications.

You'll notice that the mitt on the left barely covers my hand and thumb. I figured it defeated the purpose of keeping her warm so I added 10 rows to the hand of the mitt and 7 to the thumb. That version is on the right.

Here is a photo of them both finished...I did make a mistake in the pattern repeat...so I just repeated the error on the other mitt. It's hard to notice, right?!


**Please excuse the photo quality. I took them with my phone.

You are too funny-did you add those little red boxes to point out your mistakes? They look great though! I'm thinking about tackling my first pair of socks with yarn I got a the Super Bowl yarn sale during the Olympics. I may be calling for knitting help! ;)
