From devouring the deepest night sky the darkness dragon grows scales of the pure black and hides in the shadows. But now and then he sheds his skin, and hey presto, you have a pair of fabulous gloves! (just kidding, they're plain old aluminium scales, but if the darkness dragon did shed his skin near me I'd make some properly fabulous gloves)
No dragons were harmed in the making of these gauntlets! They're artificially imitated by knitting black scales onto a soft yarn base for maximum stretchy-comfyness with your uber awesome dragon look. I'd like to make some extra long, fully scaled all the way round (minus palms) gloves in all black some day I really love how they look

Random question~
have you tried using the technique on the fingers of gloves?
(i wonder if it would look cool on a sweater...)
AHHHHHHHH the INDECISION!
It'll be on the facebook page when it happens!
It's a very flexible pattern, and I love to adapt it to all the different requests I get!
