The Knitting Fiend

Happy Thanksgiving!
I knit my first glove using the test generator I blogged about yesterday. I knew the fingers might come out the wrong length. I found three out of four fit fine; the pinky is much too long. I modified the pattern generator to chart shorter pinkies.

I also find the thumb is a bit wide compared to the fingers. So, I’m going to make that a bit narrower too.

Other than that, the glove is a wearable glove.

I’m going to write two versions of this generator. One with ribbed cuffs, and one with flanged cuffs. I’ll machine knit a pair with flanged cuffs– because I don’t like rehanging on the Passap. I may hand knit a pair with ribbed cuffs! I hope to show you the MK gloves by Monday. (The hand knit gloves will take a while.)
