Happy 21st Birthday to Danielle!  We had a sweet little party for Danielle.  We had brownie sundaes and I knitted a scarf and fingerless gloves for her with yarn she picked out from my stash.  Clearly, she loved them.

Here’s the list of who gets what, starting at the top:

• Pair #1 – Regia Canyon Colors 2804 and black Regia – these are mine – they match a pair of socks I previously made for myself
• Pair #2 – black Regia – these are for Mark
• Pair #3 – Regia Stretch Color #82 – these are for Danielle
• Pair #4 – black Regia – these are for Dad
• Pair #5 – black Regia and Regia Marokko 5492 – these are for Mom and match a pair of socks I previously made for her

As for the pattern, I tried several patterns and adapted to what we all wanted (longer ribbing, more stockinette between the wrist and the start of the thumb gusset, etc.).  These were all made with scrap yarn so it was a good use of scraps, except for Danielle’s – she picked what she wanted from my stash.

Baby it’s cold outside – but that’s to be expected in Indiana in October. This is my first pair of knitted fingerless gloves. They were very easy and more gloves (finger and fingerless) are in the works. This is a fun project with a warm result.
