Aunty C. is safely on the other side of the world in Japan on holiday (oooh!), so I can show you the first completed long long lacy glove.It will be an added incentive to finish the pair before she returns!
It’s a really easy pattern once you get past the cuff, which I found quite challenging at first. That felt like “proper” lace knitting. Who knows, I might be ready for the Shetland Lace Triangle next!
I love the colour, although she wanted “dark purple or black”. Um, yes. This was called “midnight” on the website so I expected something darker. Although the pictures are coming out the right shade, it seems lighter in real life. It is a cashmere / merino mix and is so very soft. I think she will still like them.
