What was your inspiration?

I was inspired by plants in springtime. I wanted the twisted stitches to create graceful, entwined cables on the glove that were reminiscent of growing plants.

What are you most proud of?

I'm definitely proud of the cable panel on the back of the hand. Twisted stitches and cables are sometimes a tricky combination, but with some hard work and determination they end up looking beautiful and neat.

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

Read the charts carefully, or you might lose your way!

Those are gorgeous. I absolutely love the color and your stitching is perfect. I was looking at that yarn online the other night and wondering how it is to work with. How did you like working with it?

Thank you! It's not too difficult to work with, although I had some trouble since I was using very small needles for a tight gauge. I would suggest you get it! :)
