Lace Gloves, Part 1

I came upon some Debbie Bliss Baby Cashmerino. It's sooo soft and I just thought, "This would make a great pair of gloves." It was crying out for something simple but beautiful, and sadly, none of the patterns out there could please me. So what do we do in this instance? Make one up! I pulled out my mother's stitchionary and came across the Travelling Vine stitch. It was easy to adapt it to an in-the-round pattern, so after a little experimenting, off I went! I wanted a long glove too - this took just about the entire ball of yarn. I borrowed techniques for the thumb gusset and fingers from at least two other patterns. I wrote everything down, so when I'm done with the second one, I might put the pattern up.

Modelled on my hand - you can't really see all the holes clearly...you really have to click for the bigger picture to appreciate it.
