Had the yarn for three years now and finally got around to starting to give these cuffs a go.

Colours as named by me - 94 cream, 388 dark green, 372 light green, 109 pale pink, 119 dark pink, 245 lilac and 348 cola.

Spotted that somehow I’ve added an extra row between row 18 and 19. To compensate, purled row 70 so that row 80 started with a couple of knit stitches (not sure how necessary that was) before casting off with a 3 mm needle.

Added a thumb on the right hand between stitches 41 and 42, using m1 increases from row 30 to row 58 inclusive to create 23 thumb stitches (first M1 increase on row 30, then M1 at each side of every third row up to row 55 inclusive, then M1 increase at each side on rows 56 and 58).

Transferred hand stitches onto a life line then continued to knit thumb stitches in dark green in the round on dpns. Cast off with 3 mm needle.

My seam is awful (won’t be taking any pictures of it!) so I might try to knit the second one in the round. Perhaps I should have bumped the seam along a bit to tuck it under the hand a bit more rather than on the side.

Shame that I hadn’t realised that the total number of stitches, excluding the seam stitches, isn’t divisible for some of the pattern repeats so the pattern doesn’t match in parts at the join.

Plan to use 70 stitches for second glove so that the biggest sections match and will tweek the smaller sections to give the illusion of matching.

Started 2nd glove and already making mistakes, knitted rows 1 and 2 instead of corrugated ribbing them. Also missed the first corrugated ribbing row at the top of this glove too. Perhaps these gloves will turn out to be a test pair! Then I might make them again properly when I’ve learnt from all my mistakes!!!

Second glove made with 70 stitches on a 9 inch circular needle, adding a thumb between stitches 23 and 24. Doesn’t seem any bigger than the first glove despite the extra stitches.

When casting off, slip stitched final stitch with a crochet hook into the top of the first stitch in the round and then invisible joined into the second stitch in the round before knotting on the back to secure end.

Used this no hole thumb method:

Used this blog page to learn how to jogless join the second glove:

I wasn’t great at it but it’s neater than my first glove and there are not as many ends to sew in by a long way :-)

Colour dominance - tried to strand background colours below foreground colours, eg rows 52 to 58 I held the pale pink below the lilac yarn and on rows 21 to 27 I held the pale pink below the greens. Not sure if I did this on the first glove but the second glove was made this way and looks neater. (Julie has a great blog post about colour dominance on her blog somewhere.)

Would love to make something like these again as the Fair Isle pattern is so beautiful - would knit corrugated ribbing for the green thumb section to coordinate with the top and bottom sections of the gloves.
