Notes

13-09-2015

After I cast on the first glove, I forgot to knit the wrist and went straight ahead to the thumb gusset. I didn’t realize this until I had to embroider the flower.
But I didn’t have to frog anything. I just undid the provisional cast on and knitted in the opposite direction.

It was very useful for me to read and watch all the videos Kyoko Nakayoshi has produced to help with this pattern:

Tutorial 1 How to embroider the flower.
Tutorial 2 Fishing the ends of yarn.(This one refers just to the mittens)
Video tutorial part 1
Video tutorial part 2
Video tutorial part 3

For me the most difficult part was to figure out the increases of the thumb gusset while at the same time keeping track of the color changes in the interior part of the glove. Next time I will chart those rounds.
