Who-hooh! It worked! Quick Fingerless Gloves on my Addi Express.
I found this video by Elisabeth Craft on making a simple pair of fingerless gloves on the Addi Express. No fancy (or even simple) ribbing, or extra stuff for the thumb holes. And because I used a thicker, chunkier yarn than for the first attempt, it worked out beautifully!
The Addi Express seems very happy with this yarn : "I Love This Chunky ..."
I love the color because it reminds me of my old Newfie, Maggie.
I did do a couple of practice runs -- which I would recommend to anyone who is new to working a circular knitting machine. It knits up so fast, that it's easy enough to pull out and start over, too, if you have a mistake. The thumb hole was a little tricky, but I finally got it figured out. I can't believe how fast it went on a Sunday morning! I had both tubes made in less than an hour. Finishing took a little longer, as there was no video for that. Also, I rolled the cuff under so they appear a little shorter than Elisabeth Craft's in the video.
