Tan flowered fingerless gloves

I love these! Sometimes it is hard to give things up because I really wouldn’t mind keeping them. These fingerless gloves are on that list.

About six months ago I inherited a crazy stash of sweaters and sweater parts. Another artist in town uses them, I think to make jackets, and she had given them to my friend Heidi to use for gloves and wristlets. When Heidi and Nicole opened Union Rose, she had no time to work with them, and no space to store them, so the stash went to me.

Last weekend went through the whole stash with a fine toothed comb and put everything into categories: Already Felted, Feltable, Pillage for Parts, Knitted Fabric, or viable sweaters that I will never use. The last category is being donated to a thrift shop because its getting cold outside and it would be better for someone to have a sweater to wear than for them to languish in my studio gathering dust.

These gloves were made from sweater parts that I have been looking at for a couple of weeks, but wasn’t quite sure what to do with just yet. I am very pleased with the end result, and my new serger made putting them together a breeze. These gloves are for sale at Union Rose.
