Comments on: Marquise Gauntlets http://www.knitsisters.com/2007/08/03/marquise-gauntlets/ Watch out. We've got sharp sticks. Fri, 18 May 2012 02:38:08 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.5 By: sheba http://www.knitsisters.com/2007/08/03/marquise-gauntlets/#comment-100388 sheba Fri, 02 Jan 2009 05:33:36 +0000 http://www.knitsisters.com/2007/08/03/marquise-gauntlets/#comment-100388 Sarah, I happened to come upon your Marquise pattern and blog the other day when I was looking around for ideas for wristers and fingerless gloves, etc. I whipped up a pair just in time to wear them today, new year's day, and I got several compliments on them already. I really love how they turned out, in some "Blue Heaven" Lambs Pride Superwash that had been aging in my stash for years. : ) I made them a few inches longer so I can be warm nearly to my shoulders. My apartment is freezing and my hands are always cold, so these are a very practical item for me, and they work well with a lot of my clothes. And I think I made a minor improvement: I like I-cord much more than crochet chain, and I think it's more stable, too. Plus, it's knitting, and I'm a knitter -- I never really like shifting to crochet. So I did the first in crochet and the second in I-cord, liked the I-cord much better, and then redid the first one. Thank you very much for a great pattern. I am already planning to make another pair soon as a gift. PS: To anyone planning to make these, I used only @ 200 yards of yarn (Lamb's Pride Superwash), and I knit mine about two inches longer. I worked on US size 5s. Sarah,

The Elann page doesn't seem to load for me but I really love the looks of these. Is there anyway I could get the pattern? Was the page moved or is it just my computer?

As a newbie I hadn't seen a pattern for gauntlets without fingers - I love the loop over the finger! I will be knitting these up sometime down the road. I have a large stash that must contain the perfect yarn! The gaunlets are lovely! As a newbie I hadn’t seen a pattern for gauntlets without fingers - I love the loop over the finger!
