These are my lace gloves to go with my Gretel beret. The lace pattern is from Anna Extra Strickmustern magazine. It doesn't show well on the photos with the dark yarn I used, but they look really nice on. This is only the third time I knitted gloves, but this time the fingers came out really nice and the gloves are very comfortable to wear. Not a single hole at the beg of the fingers to sew afterwards! I'm so proud of myself :) The thumb is made with gusset and that made me wonder if it's anyhow possible/appropriate to make traditional Estonian/Latvian mittens with gussets too. It would make them so much more comfortable. Afterall, the Selbu mittens are with gussets...

Very lovely gloves. I have never knit gloves.
Very pretty! I've been wondering the same, about knitting gussets for the thumbs on Estonian/Latvian mittens.
