I am not getting married. Nor am I Norwegian. But folks, who really cares?
I LOVE me some Norwegian Wedding Gloves.
I tried on a sample glove at my old Salt Lake LYS over Thanksgiving and fell in love. When I found out it only took one skein of this super silky soft decadent yarn–well, there was just no other option but to make myself a pair.
My friend Teri (and my photographer for this shoot, Thanks Teri!) asked me where I was going to wear these. I couldn’t really answer her, I mean, these are not what I would call everyday gloves. But can you imagine a world where they are? I would have to replace 90% of the clothes in my wardrobe but it just might be worth it.
So if you can’t tell, I really, really love these gloves. I love the short hole-y cuffs. I love the beautiful v-shaped lace pattern on the thumb.
I even love how elegant the underside of the gloves are.
There is nothing not to love about these gloves. They were even really fun to knit. I am sure me not liking something about them or some huge mistake I made would make this a more interesting post. But I got nothing. I just love them.
The stats…
Pattern: Norwegian Wedding Gloves by Nancy Bush
Source: Piecework, November/December 2008
Yarn: Crystal Palace Yarns Panda Silk Solid, Ecru
Needles: US 0

Those are really superb! 🙂
If I get married, can I have some?
(I think even I could make these? could I? It’s really just my lacey scarf wrapped around my fingers, right?)
Erin, they’re perfect! Perfect! You are amazing. A. MA. ZING.
Oh so pretty ~
Cute! Total fun “special day” gloves!
SO Stunning! You continually amaze me with your talent…beautifully done Erin!
These are so awesome! I love ’em. I’ve never knitted gloves before. The fingers seem like they’d be fiddly.
I am seriously in love! These are so gorgeous that even though Melbourne winters last 5 mins in total – I think I must knit myself a pair. Alas the pattern is not available over here so I have been saved.
Well done – I have serious glove envy!
Beautiful glove and work. They will be great with an Easter sunday outfit. I may have to try a pair.
Gorgeous! I say wear them all the time! What’s the worst thing that can happen? You have to knit another pair? You say they were a really fun knit and took only a skein of yarn. I don’t see the problem. 😉 Wear away!
Gorgeous, and the very definition of elegance!
Lovely! I think you should wear them as often as you want.
I think you should totally wear them every day! So pretty!
Yeah, they are pretty darling. And perfect with your J Crew coat. They are gloves that are worth building an outfit around.
Wow. Those are BEAUTIFUL! Seriously. I have no other words.

Those are gorgeous, dah-ling.
Miss you.
Lovely! And I agree…who cares if you don’t have specific plans to wear them…sometimes you just NEED to make things like this 🙂
They are darling! Totally worth replacing a wardrobe!
they are beautiful! I think you should wear them everyday. I think we need to bring back the glove and hat wearing!
Who cares if you don’t have anyplace specific to wear them?! They’re beautiful and perfect! I say wear them everywhere!
They are lovely! Fabulously wonderful. You did such a perfect job of knitting them. You could wear them anywhere.
I’m Norwegian!! And wedded! Sadly, I don’t think such lovely gloves with go with my daily t-shirt and shorts ensemble. Pretty Pretty!
These gloves are beautiful. I love the hat on the prev blog as well. Keep up the good work. Do you machine knit as well?
Wow Erin! You are amazing at knitting. Those are just gorgeous gloves. You inspire me to knit more.
Absolutely gorgeous! You ARE Swedish…isn’t that close enough to Norwegian? If you research, I’m sure those Swedes wore wedding gloves too!
They are gorgeous! Very impressive.
Wow, they are amazing! Beautiful job.
Very nice! You could always wear them whenever you wanted, who says it has to be a wedding or special occasion?!
Gorgeous! …and your pictures are lovely 🙂
Those are just stunningly beautiful.

Where do you find the pattern for these gloves? I have been looking for books by Nancy Bush without finding anything that even hints that this pattern is in the book.
Ok, I don’t know how to knit but would you ever consider selling me a pair? I just got these ugly splints for all of my fingers and need some gloves I can wear in the Spring with some of my vintage dresses on a Sunday…. so nobody notices my hands. 🙂 Really- I would love it if we could chat about it! My email address is shutterbug dot clark at gmail dot com.
Thanks and good job on knitting them!

I really want to make these but I’m afraid I won’t be able to understand the pattern. I have the magazine.
Where can i get the norwegian glove pattern from
