So I am making a set with her. I went through the pattern to see any conflicts she might have with it as she is still a newbie. Supper simple pattern to follow and free too.

I showed her how to cast on again and I did the cast off for her ( a loose cast off)Hers is light blue she is posting on her blog about them. Mine are dark royal blue with cream. In a few of my photos you will see the beginning of hers as we compared colors. She frogged her first glove three times before she liked it. I never frogged mine took four hours to knit both mitts for me. She is still working on hers.

I did mine in knit in the round then plain stockinette stitch then back to knit in the round, whereas my daughter did hers in a twisted knit stitch then purls not twisted then back to twisted knit stitch in the round. Because of the nature of the two stitches of course hers does not roll as much if I did mine again I would do it the way my daughter did with twisted stitches but I would twist them on all stitches not just the knits and I would add a thumb gusset. I have never liked the slit opening feel it is sort of uncomfortable and pulls funny. Because of this I will probably always wear these with lace gloves under them
