Pattern Notes: Fetching
from Knitty Summer 2006

I made these in one weekend in late October 2006 after finding this great yarn at Stix-n-Stitches in Montclair, NJ. I bought two balls. One for this project and a second for a matching hat.

Yarn: Queensland Collection Kathmandu DK Tweed (85% merino wool, 10% silk, 5% cashmere)
Color: #412
Needles: US 4 double pointed needles
Gauge: 21 sts / 30 rows = 4" in stockinette stitch

I started out following the pattern casting on 45 sts (after some calculations to be sure it would work for this yarn- it did). I wanted to make these a little longer than the pattern calls for. I like my fingerless gloves to come up to my knuckles, not just to the beginning of my fingers. So, I added more in the plain stockinette section and a couple extra cables by the fingers. I also changed the number of rib rounds between cables in some places. This mainly was just a mistake that I repeated on the 2nd glove to make sure they were the same. Finally, instead of a picot edge, which I didn't love on my last pair of Fetching, I changed it to a basic straight edge.
