The pair that isn’t a pair

I posted a few days ago about the new gloves I started making. I chose the yarn because I liked the blend of colours - you can see it here

I finished knitting one glove and that came out quite bright. Then I went on to the next and, as it turns out, that has come out in much more muted colours.
It just happens that the way the colours change, with a stretch of brighter colours alternating with more muted tones, happens to coincide exactly with the amount needed to knit one glove.
So now I have a pair that don’t look like a pair at all lol!
I can see that the yarn is just coming up to the bright section again now that I’ve finished! I think I might continue and make a second pair the opposite way around to the first, so I will end up with one bright pair and one more muted pair - as long as I get the hands the right way around and don’t accidentally get two right hands in one set of colours and two left hands in the other set!

Oh wow. Well, knowing what you do now, you could easily make a second pair out of the same yarn. Hope that works out as you want it to.

@Fleura I don't suppose you make them on commission?

@BelleStarr Seriously?
I'd be happy to make more, just whenever I get the time, I'd rather not promise anything to an imminent deadline!

Even if they don’t match they are pretty.

They look warm and pretty even if they don't quite match
