Really, I must be some kind of saint. I’ve gone and knitted something for someone else again. And not only that, I did it so that playing WoW would be more comfortable for him…

A few weeks ago, when I’d just cast off the blanket, Mr C asked for a pair of fingerless gloves that he could wear at the computer to keep his hands warm while retaining dexterity. He wanted something with separated fingers, and chose some plain green yarn from a selection I offered. He mentioned that he liked red too. I agreed, went in search of a pattern, and ended up here.

I found the Hexagloves pattern on Ravelry and couldn’t resist. The mittens were gorgeous, used interesting construction and were loaded with wordplay potential (WoW, hex, casting and so on…) and I just happened to have some Noro Kureyon sock in my stash. In my defence, I did try making them with separated fingers but the number of stitches available just wasn’t enough to comfortably fit big man hands. The gloves themselves (I made the M/L size) are a perfect fit though and I’m really happy with how they turned out.
