Notes

My hands are small so it is hard to find gloves that fit my finger without extra fabric at the tip. I was intrigued with Meg’s method of starting at the tip of the finger, using I-cord to make the fingers and measuring the fit as you go. Several people in my Friday afternoon knitting group also wanted to learn the technique so we made it a KAL. It was great to have all of us working together to figure it out. I really like the gloves and am wearing them constantly. Weave in the ends from the fingers before you join them, It is much easier that way.

Once I finished the first pair, I made a second pair fingerless by casting on the number of stitches after the increase to start at the first joint. Both work really well. I very much like the wool I used and recommend it.
