Sunday, my husband had some golf to play and luckily I got to stay at home alone. I love my alone time, especially now that I have a little one who needs lots of together time. While he was gone for several hours, I went all out. I watched guilty Netflix (Justin Bieber, Never Say Never. Yes, I like his music. Judge if you want) and sat the whole time while knitting something for ME! Can you believe it?? It always seems funny to me that I have a hard time knitting items for myself, but there's always something to be making for someone else or an event that is coming up.
The item I decided to make was an even more guilty pleasure. For years I have been wanting to make myself some fingerless gloves, especially now that I have a child and need motion than my mittens will afford. So I sat down with my favorite mitten pattern and modified it to make my fingerless gloves. Here is the final result.
I made the glove longer up the arm, I don't like a gap on my wrist between my shirt and hand wear when it's really cold. And a second modification was that I made the ribbing along the fingers and thumb, just a little fun touch to make them original.
Needless to say, my me time was successful! Along with a low-key, kid-free weekend at home with my husband. And a bonus about making the fingerless gloves, they match the Infinity Scarf I made last month!!
