New Project Revealed

This should give you a better idea:

I’m making a pair of gloves from Knitting Fair Isle Mittens and Gloves. I’ve made mittens before, but not gloves, so I thought before I went hog wild and designed my own from scratch, I’d follow a pattern. Hmph. This book has some beautiful patterns in it, but the patterns are less than complete IMO. There is a ‘generic’ pattern which you can then supposedly plug in each set of charts to get a finished glove. Well, if you did it exactly like it said, you’d have a glove or mitten NOTHING like the picture. I’m having to infer a lot from the pictures. You have to shift the number of stitches you have for each portion of the project, to match up and make pattern repeats work. The gloves and mittens tend to run on the small side, so I’m adding a few extra stitches for a bit more ease. (Hopefully not too many).
The yarn?
Blue: Regia Silk sock yarn in a denim blue
Tan: Lorna’s Laces sock yarn in Aslan
