Apparently Lisa isn't the only knitted glove fanatic out there. Look at the photos from a terrific article, "Gloves from Handspun: Totally Tubular" by Jude Daurelle, Spin-Off Winter 1996. The in-depth article offers patterns for the Pansies in the Snow and Cashmere Lace Gloves shown in the first photo.











The brown gloves in the center of the second photo are made from handspun camel down. The article includes information on spinning for gloves, designing your own gloves, dividing stitches for fingers and bridging the gaps (spaces between fingers). The Interweave web site doesn't list this one as available but I think you can find old issues of Spin-Off on Ebay and via Google.



I've said it before and I'll say it again - Spin-Off is by far the best knitting magazine out there.
