I finished my right kingdom glove today, but I'm not sure if I'm going to do the left. My hands are kinda on the small size and these gloves just seem to much for them. I made the small but could have made the XS. They are a very pretty glove, just not sure if they are made for my hands or not.
Roo took this picture and it's kinda of blurry, of course the glove hasn't been blocked yet so doesn't lay as nicely as it will. Maybe I should block it and then make my decision...
These gloves had to be worked on when it was quiet till I got them figured out once I moved past the cuff I was good to go. You work the cuff by starting with a provisional cast on and then you move the cable 90 degrees...then pick up sts to work up the hand in the round.
When making these gloves remember to color code your chart it will make it easier than having to refer to your key all the time. Also if you make these on the w&t section just keep track of the sts left, and yes you will be working a cable with some of the w&t (on the chart that you pick the wraps up). Also I read on Ravelry where some had trouble deciding where there was no stitch on the chart, cause it is white like the knit stitch. So here is the break down:
On Chart E on line 15 you will decrease 3 to one sts on the new round you will be purling this st...there is no knit sts on either side of that st...same as on Chart G.
These are made on Size 1s, magic loop, and switching to dpns for the fingers.
I'm using knit picks palette yarn : )
I hope you guys have a great day of knitting :)

It's a beautiful glove! I do understand your concern though. I would agree that you should block it and then see how you feel about it... or you could always gift them to someone with bigger hands :)
It would be such a shame to frog all that beautiful, detailed work!
Thank you! I think I might block it and then I may give to my grandmother or someone for Christmas...they are very pretty and took a lot of time...I hate to think of frogging it all lol : )
