felted ladylike gloves

[faerynuff]

I made the ladylike gloves from The Happy Hooker but my gauge was way off and they were far too big...so I felted them!

 

The pics are on my blog

Wow, they look great. I tried to make those gloves but some reason couldn't follow the pattern. I may have to try again and do what you did, Felt them!

[faerynuff]

Thank you!

 

I found the pattern slightly confusing, especially when I got to the beginning of the palm. I'm a new crocheter but experienced knitter so just followed my intuition for the shaping. I'm going to try them in Regia Stretch next time, for a more spring time glove.

Great gloves. I loved your blog too. Your girls are adorable. Too funny with ink all over her hands. Stuff like that happens to me all the time!

They're great! One reason the pattern is so hard to follow is there's a ton of errata, in that pattern as well as the rest of the book. If you haven't checked it out yet, do so to help understand some of the patterns. Made a big difference for me. Here's a link to the errata. Hope this helps! http://www.bust.com/knithappens/snbhh-errata.pdf
