Wow this is a steep learning curve but I LOVE IT.
The pattern (which can be found here) uses an i-cord technique for the fingers but I quickly decided that I'd use my double pointed needles (which Terry in Canada helped me buy and which I love).
You saw the fingers separately two days ago but then I had to find a second circular needle the same size as the one that Joanie had given me. Eureka - I'd got one so no waiting for Amazon to send me one!!! I'd NEVER seen this way of knitting with circular needles before - it's epic.
What I really, REALLY love about this pattern is the way the fingers are put together. As those who knit gloves the 'right way round' (cuff to fingers) know it's always a struggle to avoid the gaping at the base of the fingers but NOT in this method. It's just so darn clever as there's an ingenious way of criss crossing stitches to avoid it.
I'm hoping that with fair weather and the wind in my sails I'll have the first completed glove finished by tomorrow. The second one should follow pretty quickly.
