Lace Gloves

I just finished making a pair of lace gloves for a friend. I did have to undo my work once since I was stitching too tightly thus making them a wee bit too small even for my little hands. In the end though I think they came out well: especially with the yarn I used. Such a pretty rose and brown exchange!

I used a fan pattern in crochet to create these and plan to make another pair in browns and golds for myself. I might change the pattern slightly so that I don't end up with the lined pattern here, otherwise I love them. The pattern referenced is a free one found on Crochet Insider. I'm sure you'll notice that theirs is a little different. I might have added a few extra rows somewhere.

I found when making these that I need to work on my tension: that could also have played a factor in the differences.

The wrapping that the gloves are shown in is something I sketched up real quick like after I finished them. I was going to give them to her as is or with a simple wrapping of ribbon and name tag that night but by the time I finished she was off work and heading home. So I expressed some of my pent up creative juices. I didn't have much time (or so I thought) to pose them properly which is why you can see my cluttered work space in the back ground. And taking images of your hands by yourself is not easy. However, I'm going to make her pose them for me when I visit her loft! I might bring my delf cup with me if she doesn't have something that would work.

More images can be found on my Deviantart gallery along with images of my other works. I do tend to update that more often. >.<;

As a side note I found that there are MANY people using the Crochet Insider pattern and selling the product on etsys for about $20.00 +.
