Notes

This site has a new version of the gloves that may work better than the old one I tried to use: http://midnightknitter.com/knitpixiepatterns/uploads/punk...

Tried super saver yarn. It was turning out too scratchy, so scrapped the first glove. The tender touch worked very well, but because of the pattern I did a lot of ripping.

Could not get pattern instructions to work. Cannot find where increases are made in pattern. Could not get bobbles to form a nice pattern. Tried twice with two different yarns. Cuff turned out to large had to adjust down, and hand part too small. Had to increase rows. Ended up winging it.

I worked with two skeins of yarn and crocheted each glove mirroring the other in sections so I would not loose track of what I was doing from one glove to the other. Sorry did not write down what I did. I was too busy trying to figure out how to finish the pair. I did extend the thumb hole.

Next time I will will make the cuff a little bit smaller each way, then add a couple of rows of single crochet at which time I will increase stitches to each row. Then start the hand part. Or, better yet try a totally different pattern.
