Velvet Curtain Cabled Gauntlets

This is my version of Kirsten Hipsky's Velvet Curtain Cabled Gauntlets. I used yarn I spun from dyed pencil roving. I am still intrigued by the dyeing process that was used in the roving, combining green and turquoise in various amounts throughout. I also came up with a much different gauge because I tend to spin on the fine side. So, instead of the 30 stitch cast on, I used 56 stitches and then increased to 60 after a 1/1 rib. Even with the finer gauge these knit up quickly. Since my office/studio is on the northwest side of the house on the lower level, it gets cold. I wear fingerless gloves in the wintertime to keep my hands warm, even while typing, sewing, spinning or knitting.
