the space between kit

If, like me, you have been in urgent need of using your finger tips to do something while out and about in the cold - answer the phone, get a dog poo bag ready, find your keys - only to be thwarted by your gloves, this is my solution. Rather elegant I think, if weird.

These glittens (glove / mittens) are in honour of David Lynch, who’s other worldliness I love.

Materials:

• a set of double pointed knitting needles the correct size to get gauge. I used 3mm needles. Don’t take my word for it - check with a gauge swatch. Knitters’ gauge varies by 20%!
• a set of double pointed knitting needles two sizes smaller for the ribbing.
• the chroma nima yarn kit for this pattern OR
• 25g of black cashmere yarn, 750m / 100g or a fibre such as merino
• 10g of white cashmere yarn, 750m / 100g or a fibre such as merino
• a few metres each of a gradient of 5 yellow to red yarns in the same yarn as above
• a few metres each of a gradient of 5 blue yarns in the same yarn as above
• at least two stitch markers.
• very good light!
