Oh the joys of developing pattens as you go.
A grandmother of two boys I've recently been babysitting asked me if I could make her a pair of wrist warmers in Maize + Blue (for U of M). I've made a pair or two before for me, but never with thumbs (my first attempts just left holes for the thumb) but I told her I could find a pattern and make them for her no problem. And I did! Surprisingly quick for me ;) hehe. And I had them done in 2 or 3 weeks! The catch? The main cable on the second glove started worming its way toward the thumb -- I had misplaced the thumb hole too close to the cable :(
So I ripped the top half out & re-worked it, paying attention to wear I made my increases this time ;)
I'm happy to report it looks just as nice as the first glove & I can't wait to see how Grandma likes them.

She was even entertaining the idea of my making a pair for each of her grandsons in Steelers' colors. But we'll see. The boys started running with the idea and wanted to add 4+ different colors and trying to visualize how to pattern that out was too overwhelming. So I call this project To Be Continued. ....
