Oh my. Much ripping and reknitting, but we have success tonight. Luke has a very slender hand, and his pinky is much lower on his hand then the rest of his fingers. So after the pinky, I worked five rounds on the rest of the hand.

I used 3 black between the white stripes on the ring finger. There are 30 sts on the ring finger.

Now starting the index finger, I’ve got 12 sts from the hand on front and back. Going to pick up 3 at the ring finger, then cast on 3.

Luke is super happy with these. He lets me try them on his hands as often as I want. After the last try on he says “the second one will go a lot faster right? Because you’ve got it figured out?” He’s in a hurry to get these! Makes a momma smile.
