Not that I need gloves right now
I finished the gloves, right in time for the mini heat wave we're having here at the moment. Not that hot weather has ever stopped me knitting warm woolies, it just makes for some odd photo shoots.
This is the cuff of the second glove. You knit the cuff seperately and then pick up stitches from the top to knit the rest of the glove. That is, if I understood the Japanese directions correctly. It turned out okay, so I'm happy.
With gloves, there are always lots of ends to weave in. I use this wooden needle case to put into the fingers while doing this, it makes the process much easier.
And here they are, all done!
This is what I meant when talking about odd photo shoots: standing on my balcony in 25C/77F weather, wearing wool gloves.
I'm happy with the way they turned out and they fit perfectly. My finished projects page has been long neglected, and it will take me some time to add these gloves and other finished projects so I'll give you the details here first:
Pattern: gloves from Hokuou no knit komonotachi by Shimada Toshiyuki (available only in Japanese)
Yarn: Soft Concious by Hamanaka (83% merino wool, 17% baby alpaca - 40g = 120m)
Gauge: 7.5 spi [30 st= 10cm]
Needles: 3mm
Started: July 20, 2007
Finished: August 1, 2007
Over the next days, I will go over all the questions I got on the blog lately and try to answer them in the next entry. So if you're waiting to hear from me: please stay tuned!

Lovely gloves, Saartje! The book is a good one, I think there are several nice patterns there.

Very beautiful, especially in the sunshine!

They look beautiful. And very warm, which I'm sure you'll appreciate later in the year.

Hoi Saartje, wat een mooie handschoenen heb je gebreid!! Entrelac lukt bij mij nog niet goed. Maar ga het gewoon nog eens op mijn gemak proberen. Was zeker wel lekker warm om je handschoenen te showen? Nu maar hopen dat het koeder wordt, dan kun jij de winter in!

Beautiful! Luckily winter starts in 5 months!

Ohhh, those turned out beautifully! Nice job!

Your gloves turned out beautifully, and what a great idea with the wooden dowel to insert so you can weave the ends in easier.

It's beautiful! Lovely , the way the yarn stripes on the hand.

Wat zijn ze prachtig geworden!! Ook de kleuren zijn bijzonder mooi. Hopen op een zeer strenge winter zodat je er veel profijt van zult hebben.

Wauw, ze zijn echt heel mooi geworden. Ik had bijna gedacht dat we ze dit seizoen ook nodig zouden hebben, maar het weer is weer prachtig! Gelukkig maar :) Ik hoop dat je ze lekker veel kunt dragen komende winter!

Wat zijn ze mooi! Lekker warm voor de aankomende herfst en winter.
Heb je het uit het japans kunnen vertalen of zo?
Het beginnetje is wel zo speciaal, zo gekarteld. dat heb ik nog niet geprobeerd.
Hoe is het met je kleine meid?
Posted by: Monique at August 5, 2007 11:13 AM
Errug mooi!!! Wat een prachtige handschoenen heb je nu toch weer gemaakt, die kleuren combi, heel fraai.

Let it snow. Let it snow. Let it snow. Wat prachtig. Laat de winter maar komen (maar niet te snel aub)

This gloves are so beautiful!!!

Your gloves are great! I love the entrelac.
Posted by: Barb at August 5, 2007 6:30 PM
O, die zijn echt heel mooi geworden. Mooi materiaal heb je gebruikt. Knap dat je wijs hebt kunnen worden uit een japans patroon. Nou ja, als je weet hoe een handschoen op zich gemaakt moet worden dan zal dat wel gaan. Ik heb een paar truien gemaakt uit een IJslands breiboek. Maar omdat ik al wist hoe een IJslandse trui wordt gemaakt ging dat prima.

they're beautiful! what a great use for entrelac -- it's just enough to be a design element without being overwhelming.

Geweldig mooi geworden Saartje, complimenten! Jammer dat je nog lang moet wachten met ze dragen.
Wat staan er in dit boekje toch veel mooie dingen hè. Ik heb er zelf al de twined knitting wantjes uit gemaakt en heb nog veel meer in de planning.

They are beautiful in colors and in pattern! So far I've not made whole gloves, only fingerless gloves. I think your tip for putting the needle case in the fingers will be a help to me in the future. Thank you.

The gloves are super, especially in this yarn.
Posted by: Marijke at August 7, 2007 11:53 AM

The gloves are really nice! could do with them here, we've had no summer at all. Just wanted to say that i knit a pair of your booties and they turned out really nice, gave them to my friend for her baby yesterday and she went wild over them! Are you going to do up a flickr gallery of booties at any time? I'd be glad to send you photos of mine to contribute to it and Ive seen lots of them popping up all over blogland, and on ravelry

What beautiful gloves! Thanks for the inspiration.
Posted by: Kim at August 26, 2007 7:07 PM
Do you read Japanese? If not, how difficult is it to make sense of the pattern? I have seen several interesting knitting books in Japanese and have wondered if knitting could be a universal language?
