Fingerless gloves

Not good, not good. If you are going to ask me to make something and I put in two days of work and it cost me $16.54 cents for materials, don't tell my husband that is too much. I could have purchased a big skein of yarn of each color and it would have cost much more. Cost of materials x3 is not much for all the work that I put into these. I am ready to take them, out and literly burn them..I want them out of my house. And for goodness sake don't you ever ask me to make anything else for you. Detailed work on these is time consuming, each one of those tails had to be hidden on the inside, and had I put on colored buttons like the pattern showed, it would have been much more. Buttons are not cheap! Enough of vent. Lesson learned make them pay up front for things! And make the price high, especially if it is a project you really are not crazy about doing!

They are still on my dining room table. They will be the only pair like this that I will ever do! Unless someone wants to pay 80 to 100 dollars for a pair. Then I might consider it, and with money up front!
The pattern is written in UK terms and had to be translated to US crochet terms too.
From the very start to the very finish was a project that simply too way too much time! Detail work was unreal.and to make sure the stripes lined up when you finished and put the buttons on? Well I am a perfectionist and it simply had to match! And yes there are SEVEN buttons on each one! Hahahaha
Never again!
