Test Pattern #3: Argyle

My testing of patterns for gloves is continuing and this time I finished up the argyle pattern I've been thinking about for some time.  I originally tried a 3-color pattern but will admit that I just didn't like the way the pattern looked (it looked less like argyle when it was in glove form than it did in my knitting chart!).  So I took away a color, tweaked the pattern and came up with this:






This one is definitely a keeper, though I've already had requests for different color combinations (gladly!).  I think I'll do something darker (maybe a black and red?) or something more monochromatic (black and grey?).  I'm always open to suggestions!

Current Works in Progress & Test Patterns

I'm finally getting the chance to try out some test patterns for designs that I've seen and wanted to replicate in gloves.  So far this week I've already completed 2 test patterns: hearts and a pattern called pueblo.  I'm hoping to add even more!  If you have suggestions for designs or even just color suggestions, please feel free to let me know.  I'm always open to constructive feedback!

Here are the test gloves for both items:
