Peace Gloves

I finally finished the second Peace Glove knit in Palette and 2.5 and 2.25 mm dpns. I made them to match the denim jacket I embroidered. I plan to make gloves to wear with each of my coats and jackets so I have two more pairs planned. Sorry about the photos but I had to use the flash as it has been gray and rainy here this week.




Today I sent $204.83 from booklet and pattern sales to the Colorado House Rabbit Society. Also, the lime green and purple socks are on hold because I can't find the right color of purple. This was hard for me to believe because I have a whole container of purple yarns. Instead I started another pair of gloves.

These gloves are surprisingly fast to knit. I'm already planning a third pair in black. The hand colorwork will be black and one of the two multicolored skeins of yarn I own (something from Knitpicks' on sale) and then I'll try to match the colors with yarn from the stash for the cuff colorwork.

I'm running out of red so I've made an executive decision to knit the second glove and let the much slower Selbustrikk mittens wait until more red arrives. I also need to get back to work on some socks and I want to knit the hat on the cover of Stranded Color Knitting in better colors.

Peace Gloves

Here are the Peace Gloves knit in 6 colors of Knitpicks' Palette - you need one of the main color (white) and small amounts of the other five. I tried various means of embroidery but ended up with only a small amount on the picot cuff. The pattern is available in print and as a .PDF download HERE.
Next on the agenda is to see how many fun colorwork socks I can knit in my worsted weight purple wool yarn collection. Also, I have photographic evidence of Peaches misbehaving terribly.
