I have been trying to make a pair of gloves lately, actually lots of gloves not much success but that is another story. Here is a pair I would really like to get done. It is a very pretty pattern, but I have modified it as I am using a much smaller needle size 0 as apposed to a 3. I also have more repeats and added a thumb gusset but the over all feel is still the same as the original. I really love all the patterns from this fiber artist you should check them out she has lots of free patterns. Oh and this one was one of her free patterns. I am using a size 5 pearl cotton that I bought thrift a long time ago for 50 cents. I still have tons of this and I have used it tons as well. I will be able to make more stuff with this when done with the gloves too. It is amazing how much thread come on a spool.
Update she dose have an etsy store where she sells finished gloves and a few other patterns that she has that are not free but real inexpensive. So worth the price. I have them and they are very well written and in English. They have a lot more information than her free pattern which is to be expected.
