So you might have heard of my friend Glenna<\/a>. I knit a lot of her stuff, because her aesthetic and mine have a lot of overlap, and also she’s made of brilliant and awesome and win and whatever else you can think of. <\/p>\n

As are these gloves.<\/p>\n

NOUVEAU GLOVES<\/B>
\n\"Nouveau<\/a>
\nPattern<\/b>: Nouveau<\/a>, by Glenna C [ravelry link]
\nYarn<\/b>: Elsebeth Lavold Silky Wool, in one of those numbered colorways that don’t tell you anything but I am going to name Pewter
\nNeedles<\/b>: US 2 & 3 DPNs
\nNotes<\/b>: Glenna released this pattern earlier this year, and I promptly went out and picked out yarn with a Christmas gift card and forced my mom and sister to help me pick out just the right color and knit them up over the summer…except for three fingers, and then I ran out of steam for a bit. (It’s always the fingers where that happens, because you have to do them ten times<\/i> and it just gets to be a little much.) But finally I finished them up this month, and then I needed to have another little break before I tackled weaving in the ends. (Glenna advised me that sometimes she cheats and doesn’t tack everything down on the inside since nobody sees it, but I’m a Virgo and something in me will just not permit that to stand, so every. last. end. was woven in before I could call these finished.) <\/p>\n

\"Nouveau<\/a><\/p>\n

As you can see, these are lovely lovely lovely. The pattern has a very Jugendstil\/Art Nouveau air (the pattern name makes sense now, ja?), and I really love that time period and its style, part of the reason they jumped to the top of my queue as soon as I saw them. The pattern relies on twisted stitches, which is one of Glenna’s trademarks, and they really do pop beautifully, as you can see on the palm here. The motif on the hands is spectacular and I love how it turned out in the Silky Wool:<\/p>\n

\"Nouveau<\/a><\/p>\n

Between the color and the yarn’s tweediness and matte appearance, I feel like these gloves could have come out of somebody’s trunk, hidden in piles of vintage dresses and hats. In fact, I have lots of yarn still and plans for a cloche to match, because how much fun will it be to wear these with a matching hat? <\/p>\n

Before I can start that, however, I have Vestvember to get through. We are making progress, would you like to see?<\/p>\n

\"Briony<\/a><\/p>\n

That is the back, and it’s done. I’m halfway through the front, and I am thinking that we’ll get some progress made on Thanksgiving, since I can’t work on Christmas knitting when the recipients are sitting right in front of me. That would ruin the surprise, and we cannot have that. <\/p>\n

But once the vest is done, and the Christmas knitting is done? Oh yes, hats. I am excited, guys. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
