Sanquhar Gloves
I finally had time to make a scan of my Sanquhar Gloves. They were so much fun to knit and I've enjoyed wearing them. They are surprisingly warm, too. I changed the pattern a bit by starting the little finger lower to better fit my hand. The glove on the left has the gusset between the little finger and ring finder where I picked up the stitches for the hand. The first glove ( shown on the right) has the gusset on the other side of the ring finger making the middle finger and ring finger gussets come together. The second glove is a better fit. lI'm getting ready to start on my Mohter's pair, and hope to get them finished before Christmas. Hers should be perfect.
