It fits.
I sure am happy that I recently bought these Clover stitch markers. They make really handy stitch holders and I could hold off the calculated number of stitches for each finger separately. How handy! Handy. Get it? I crack myself up!
The first glove is finished, just no photo. The Patons Kroy sock yarn I used is thick and would make a sturdy and warm glove or mitten. I'm not sure one quite as thick (or warm) is needed this time.
So.....more yarn. I bought some Malabrigo Sock in a deep, dark purple called Velvet Grapes. Love that colorway name and I think it is working up quite nicely. The fingers will be a bit less bulky as well.
I'm a bit afraid that this thinner yarn will not be quite as forgiving when it comes to knitting up the fingers. Guess I'll have to wait and see.
Have a wonderful weekend.
If you miss me, I'll probably be out in the yard raking. And raking. And raking. And raking.

Love the purple! I've never tried gloves with fingers. Thought I did good to get a thumb in a mitten once.
Have fun with the yard work. I need to pick up pecans before anyone tackles the leaves.
Love that purple! I've never used Malabrigo Sock yarn but I love the worsted.
I'm with Mimi, no raking until I get all the pecans picked up and with my sinuses? I really hate that job!
Did you know your little stitch holders come in 2 sizes? I love them, use them for everything and never don't have one in my knitting bags. Great little things.
Happy Raking! :o)
That's what I get for reading your posts from newest to oldest. Great minds think alike? Oh well, it's very handy to do so ;0
But seriously folks, that yarn is wonderful and the name makes me hungry....everything does. Grape M&Ms, perhaps?
