What can I say? I’m utterly loopy for this glove project. I love it, and I’d marry it.
The joy of being able to make a glove which fits my slightly odd hands (generally long and narrow, but with short little and ring fingers; very ‘wedge’ shaped palm) is a thing of delight. I started by copying a commercial glove which fits me better than any other I’ve tried, but departed from that extremely quickly, when I realised it didn’t even have a thumb gusset.
(So why does it work so well? Who knows?!). All I can really say, then, is that the commercially knit glove gave me some inspiration, and an idea of an appropriate gauge for gloves that I like to wear.
And now I have an earworm. Does anyone else remember that silly campfire song?

Heh. When I’m having a long day but I need to keep going I say ‘one finger, one thumb, keep moving’ to myself. Don’t know why, it started I think when my eldest girl was a baby and there were a lot of long days!
Your gloves are lovely, I love the colours.

The gloves do indeed look great! So what weight is this wool, officially. Will give me an idea what I need for my some-time-in-the-future crochet gloves!

Love the glove – the colors are gorgeous!
(I have no idea what song you’re referring to… But I don’t know many campfire songs, either.)
