A friend of mine asked if I could make a pair of gloves for her friend's son, who was born with two fingers fused together (so he obviously can't wear store-bought gloves). I'd never done gloves, but agreed anyway. The whole thing was a lot easier than I expected, and the fingers were much less fiddley than anticipated. It probably helped that the boy is not quite five years old, so the gloves are small and knit up quickly. Here they are:
They are still damp from the wash in the photo. They're not bad... They're knit up with Austermann Step, which is a self-patterning yarn, and it makes the fingers look a little goofy, but I don't think it's a bad thing. I might knit myself a pair someday.
Still no progress on the Pomatomus socks, but now that the gloves are finished I will probably pick them up again.

They turned out really nice. I am sure he will love them.
