Using the Heritage yarns from project 3b on smaller needles and the version 1 pattern.

A bit disappointed with the texture of 3b and more hopeful of a better result on smaller needles. It is not all bad news though because smaller needles allow for motifs with a few more stitches and consequently a bit more variation in design.

This version a sideways/sore thumb. A bit easier to design for than the palm side (like a proper glove thumb).

One finished and more hopeful once it has been washed. Worked completely on 2.25mm, did not seem to need to do plait cast on with smaller needles. A generous fit and only real tweak will be one less round for thumb gusset and placement of gusset increases. Initial indications are that can work a long glove with this yarn on this size needle. Optimistic also about a glove worked with this yarn on 2mm needles enabling more lavish pattern.

All done. Generous fit and really cosy.
