I've knitted gloves before but they were always for someone else. For the longest time I've hankered for a pair of gloves to call my own. So I'm finally going to remedy this situation. The pattern is the ruffled gloves from Loop d Loop and the yarn is some knit picks palette (I possess a metric ton of this stuff). This is the first glove and I'm quite close to starting the fingers. The only modifications I've made thus far is to go down a needle size on both the big and small needles and to use thinner yarn. I must be the loosest knitter in the universe because even when I get gauge and knit things several sizes smaller than my measurements - I often end up with something too big. Hence the going down in yarn and needle size. So far they seem to fit fine.
