my mummy’s an alien!

This is what Joel says when he shows people my new gloves. I’ve had the pattern for these in my favourites for a while, but haven’t been moved to make them before now. I adapted the size to my short/wide hands, as when i cast on they seemed a little narrow.

Having finished them, making them a little wider, they are now (of course) too wide and stand off my hands mostly. Well, at least the cuffs fit…

The intention with the fingers is to give additional dexterity without having to take your gloves off. However, it turns out that most of the things I want to do, I need to take my gloves off altogether anyway. It was a nice thought, anyway.

And so, I give you Tridactyl Gloves, made with some malabrigo that my bezzie gave me…
