Skullduggery

Posted by Cheryl on Feb 25 2007 | 1. Knit on Monday, The Kitchen Sink

So, is it true you are what you wear? Hmm…..I kinda hope not.

The skull-and-crossbones-fingerless-gloves-aka-Knucks-from-Knitty.com are finished for Seven-Year-Old-Son-Alex. A bit big, but by next fingerless glove wearing season, I think they’ll fit his meaty paws quite well. I have a wee bit of trepidation lurking in the back of my mind as I see them, though…..

Have I just created a schoolyard hoodlum?

I confess, he looks rather imposing with these ferocious woolen knuckle-busters on his hands, but I know that underneath the traditional Dublin young male uniform of hoodie, tracksuit trousers and trainers, lies the heart and temperament of a loving, good-natured fellow. Whew.

The details:

  • Pattern: Combining Knucks from Knitty.com, with added intarsia skull-and-crossbones detail from Hello Yarn
  • Yarn: Stash stuff and kind of worried that it might be 100% hand wash only wool. Yikes!
  • Needles: Magic Loop method on 4mm Addi Turbo circulars
  • Time to Complete: Not long when I focused, about an evening to complete one glove
  • Now, onto it’s-all-about-me knitting…yippee!
