Lizzy Gloves

(Originally posted Saturday, February 28, 2009)

I’ve been experimenting with linen and gathered stitches on this glove.

When I started this experiment, I held in mind the image of Lizzy and her sisters at Mr. Bingley’s ball - think Kira, curly locks, white gowns, elegance, dancing, laughing, gloves, intrigue, femininity.

I’m using lace weight yarn from Tess’ Designer Yarns in Portland, Maine. I’m holding the yarn double and knitting on 3mm double-pointed needles. The yarn color is eucalyptus.
