Ugly glove

For christmas my Father-in-law bought me a crochet pattern magazine. In it was this really cute pattern for fingerless gloves and a hat. Yesterday I tested the glove pattern. I Hate it! The sizing turned out way smaller than the pattern said it would. And the faux seaming, ugly! I do however, really love the  overall stitching pattern. Unfortunately the pattern was complicated enough it took 6 hours to make, only to discover that I don't like it, and would never want to post in GreeneTrends.

So, I adapted. I took the parts that I like, and made another glove. Increased the size a little, and "poof" cute glove! I still have the hat pattern to test, and a scarf to design around it. I think it will turn out well. I'm finding that I much prefer taking an idea from a pattern and designing my own from there. Maybe it is because I like to do things MY WAY! LOL! Maybe it is because it's fun to create something thats all mine...

I'll let everyone know when I finish and list this set!
