i finished a gauntlet for a glove this morning. by "finished" i mean there is no hand and there is still a provisional cast-on. i don't know how i want the cuff to look and i am certain that i do not want to use either of the yarns used in the gauntlet for the part that goes on my hand.
they look great on the gauntlet though. but i can't have a white glove (not even this very natural off-white) and the "black" used here is beyond just a mottled uneven hand-dye kind of black -- it's almost space-dyed (anathema) and i can't have that on my hand either.
i like the way the unsolid black worked in the charted design, though (i often do like that), and i like the chart itself -- very nouveau. but what about the cuff, and what about the hands (which are to be half-fingers)?
i know some people who spin and dye and i'm wondering if i wouldn't like to incorporate some of their yarns into these. one individual in particular (humming in an innocent, non-pushy way, fingers sneaking towards telephone), i would love to see her yarn used in these gloves. there's nothing unusual in having gauntlets and gloves made of different yarns is there? it's not going to shift the ocean tides or anything, is it?
it felt so good to just sit down and make a "normal" thing, it's no surprise it went so fast (that and the fact that there is a particulary riveting trial on court tv this week.)
