Winter gloves!

It's been a while!
Has been busy with work but it's time for new kniting projects again, finally!

This time, I have decided to knit myself some winter gloves
which I will be using for my Japan trip in May 2018!

I've been to Korea during winter back in 2016
and I found out the coldest part of my body is actually..
My small hands!
They get FREEZING cold pretty fast

The yarn I used is a combination of Merino, cashmere and silk
And the tutorial for the gloves pattern is from here
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L6ODA0nfIIE#t=17m18s

I just used the tutorial as a guideline
And edited a lot of the rows to match my small AND different sized left-right hand
I also added an additional layer of ribbing for the cuffs for warmth
(I refuse to make double layer of the whole glove because then it becomes too bulky)

So here it is!

Next project, my winter scarf!
Will probably have to find some time to do it before my May trip though..
But I will most likely need to make one as my nose is VERY sensitive
So I tend to get bad flu during cold winter temperatures

So till next time!
