This past summer, I luckily stumbled upon Churchmouse Yarns and Teas in Bainbridge Island, WA. I purchased one of their popular yarn designs, Welted Fingerless Gloves, as well as yarn and buttons to complete the project. While I was hoping to complete the gloves before fall approached, as is my way, I did not complete them until well into winter (last week).
I am so happy I picked up this pattern and yarn — the gloves are wonderful. They are incredibly soft, fit like a glove (ha!), and are really cute! Just days after first trying them on, I am already worried that I might wear them down by the end of this already diminishing winter. Project details follow the picture.
