labricoleuseMy decorative arts class has just presented their first round of projects, gloves. They make a simple pair in order to get a hang for the weird shapes of glove patterns, then a complex pair which involves some sort of challenge--either a pattern manipulation, or a material like leather, etc. Here are some images of their results.
Left: simple knit gloves with contrast thumb and fourchettes
Right: pink leather scalloped-edge gloves, both by first year grad Erin Abbenante
These gloves by first year grad Katie Keener have boiled wool on the back and leather on the palm.
White and pink leather gloves by second year grad Colleen Dobson. Colleen made these based on a research image of a glove advertisement from the 1950s. You can see her strange pattern shapes at the top!
Third year grad Candy McClernan has made several pairs of gloves before, so for her project she decided to research how to update this 1930s pattern for a modern crochet artisan. Old patterns like this often cite obsolete brands/sizes of yarns, and have odd elements of their notation. (This one gives fairly clear instructions for right hand, and then just says to do it in reverse for the left!)
White leather embellished gloves at right by second year grad Denise Dietrich. At left you can see her samples for the scalloping, cutwork, and artwork. Denise drew the "etching" embellishment on the backs of these gloves, working from the research image of an antique pair seen below.
