Why Hillary Climbed Everest…
Now I show you the secret project I’ve been working on at work while I’ve been page proofing.
A co-worker had a bunch of these:
And so I did this:
There’s a lot of photos, so I’m using a cut. Click for the full story…
Update (5/2/07) Welcome everyone who is coming from the Yarn Harlot! Thanks for all your wonderful comments. Before you ask questions, read the ones I’ve already answered: Click here for Giant Glove FAQ
So, my co-worker had these chairs as dining chairs and wanted to do something wacky with them - paint the fingernails on one, etc. I suggested one needed a glove. I asked him to take measurements, but he decided to bring one in to my office. Where it has lived for more than the past year. It’s been quite the conversation piece and people sit on it when they come to talk to me.
Given the monumental size of the task, I made some quick decisions. 1) Cheap acrylic yarn. 2) Double-stranded and big needles. 3) Top down. I purchased 4 balls of Caron “3/4 Pound” in Mixed Greens.
Knowing the diameter of the fingers, I was able to start at home. In short order, I had two fingers completed, keeping the stitches live so that I could work them down the palm or cuff as necessary. And that’s how it stayed until a few weeks ago.
Faced with the prospect of having to sell my house, I decided I needed to finish up projects and clear things out. So I started up with the fingers again and finished them all. That done, I sewed the gussets of the fingers together. Then I put all the palm-facing finger stitches on a needle and knit across the palm. As I passed the thumb, I picked up the thumb stitches to join to the palm. As I reached the shaped front of the palm, I did some short-row shaping. With the palm finished, I picked up stitches around the sides and put the remaining live finger stitches on the needle and started knitting in the round.
Every few rows, I’d try it back on the hand to see where I had to start decreasing or shaping. This is what I was doing with those Options cables I kept breaking. Mostly, they just weakened from the stress. Once I actually broke one as I was trying the glove on and forgot to slip half the stitches to a 2nd cable to give me some stretch and so I pulled it too hard.
After I knit down past the knuckles, I started ribbing. And I did a combination of shaping with decreases and relying on the natural pull of the ribbing to fit the base of the chair. I also knit the ribbing flat instead of in the round so that I could take the glove on and off. At this point, I started running out of yarn, but fortunately, I was able to find more, this time the 5oz balls of Perfect Match (took 4 of those too). Good thing acrylic never changes. I sewed some small hooks to one side of the slit and use them to close it up.
To give you a sense of scale, here is a young friend modeling the glove…
And a close-up of his Red Sox Baby Surprise Sweater I made (note, he’s not my child, he belongs to my office mate):
Now, you can’t have a giant glove without doing a few silly things..

April 26th, 2007 at 7:49 pm
That is incredible! Well done.
April 26th, 2007 at 7:53 pm

Will there be a spreadsheet?
April 27th, 2007 at 7:12 am
I’m in awe. That is the coolest thing ever! That’s got to be some kind of knitting record, doesn’t it?
April 27th, 2007 at 7:18 am
I’m sure you already know that is completely amazing.

You are nuts! Love it, but nuts….
I wonder if it might make the Guinness Book of World Records?

May 2nd, 2007 at 10:05 am

May 2nd, 2007 at 12:29 pm
HA! Oh my gosh that’s great! When I first saw the picture I thought maybe you had spray painted it to look like variegated yarn or something?! Too funny!!
This will totally end up on “you knit what?”
May 2nd, 2007 at 2:35 pm
Wow! Amazing! Thanks for the gratuitous silly shots!
May 2nd, 2007 at 2:51 pm

So, so cool! Cozy everything! I love the shot of the glove on your head - that would make a great halloween costume.
May 2nd, 2007 at 5:16 pm
Seriously cool.
May 2nd, 2007 at 7:06 pm
Wow, what a fantastic job you did.
I still have the first baby bonnet I knitted for my daughter but she could not wear it until she was three it was so big.
I don’t think I am a knitter by any stretch of the imagination.

May 2nd, 2007 at 8:28 pm

Great job! And crazy…

BravA!!!Man Oh man!!! What a hoot! I take my hat off to you. Have yu contacted a Needleworker’s Guild to show them? I bet this’ll get yu a shot on a TV program REAL soon. What’s next? A wooly scarf for the Houses of Parliament? Good luck to you!
May 3rd, 2007 at 7:18 am
I agree with EVERYONE!!!! Call out the fiber magazines, the newspapers, the national guard. Who needs a war, just stick that baby in the presidential office and all diplomats will bow down to the United States of America for having such genius. The war would be over! Now how are you going to top this one?
May 3rd, 2007 at 12:23 pm
You are awesome!
May 3rd, 2007 at 5:19 pm
I’ve always wanted some of those chairs. If I ever get one I’m so making gloves for them… despite the amount of time involved. Hee.

And I must say that this project goes well with the tagline under your blogheader: “Stuff I do with my hands”
May 3rd, 2007 at 7:54 pm
amy! Now you need to knit a Michigan mitten! Yes, I mean for the whole state. I just know that was your inspiration!
May 3rd, 2007 at 8:24 pm
“amy! Now you need to knit a Michigan mitten! Yes, I mean for the whole state. I just know that was your inspiration!”

WAY TOO COOL WOMAN!!!!
May 3rd, 2007 at 10:01 pm
Wow! I am SO impressed!
May 3rd, 2007 at 10:06 pm
Several things leap to mind once the synapses started firing again after the shock & amazement wore off…
First off, BRILLIANT. Way to think outside the box.
Someone needs to contact the guiness book for largest glove.
Do you suffer from 2nd glove sydrome or will you be whipping up the mate to that one for the pair?
Holy Glove I’d hate to have to knit the socks for the feet that go with THAT hand.
and last but not least, now that your warmed up, how about a tea-cozy for a small apartment building? Lace y/o for the windows perhaps…
May 3rd, 2007 at 10:49 pm
Unbelievable! That’s commitment. And not even for your own chair! Wow.
May 4th, 2007 at 3:37 am
Yeah to absurd knitting. You are totally crazy, but in a very good way. Chapeau! (means something like, hat down=congratulation in french)
May 4th, 2007 at 4:05 am
Seriously outrageous. I love it!
May 4th, 2007 at 5:11 am
Holy Crap!
That is the best thing I’ve seen in a long long while!
I especailly love “the bird” and the nose picking!
May 4th, 2007 at 6:17 am
OMG! Will the pattern be available? I’d love to make one for DS and stuff it as a pillow! It would make a great floor pillow/bean bag for a kid!
Fantastic work!
May 4th, 2007 at 6:43 am
Wonderful project. I think I don’t even have the room to make something big in my tiny yard.
Amazing!
May 4th, 2007 at 6:58 am
This is the kind of thing that I would think would be fun to try, but never, ever seriously entertain the idea of doing. I so applaud your ’stick-to-it-iveness’ on this one. It’s absolutely fabulous.
May 4th, 2007 at 7:12 am
That is so brilliant!
May 4th, 2007 at 7:36 am
Very cool! Just like something you’d find at an art exhibition.
May 4th, 2007 at 7:49 am
Great thing, very cool! You must have worked months for this great result!
May 4th, 2007 at 7:59 am
That’s great!!
May 4th, 2007 at 8:47 am
That is seriously some of the most brilliantly crazy knitting I’ve ever seen. I’ve always hated how cold those chairs look…not anymore!
May 4th, 2007 at 8:54 am
That is amazing…I can’t believe you finished it! I also thought it was a) spray-painted, or b) Photoshopped. Totally cool!
May 4th, 2007 at 8:56 am
Awesome or what! I don’t usually feel at a loss for words, but this just is fantastic and deserves a mouth open stare…
May 4th, 2007 at 8:59 am
Dropping from harlot too, to say that is epic and fantastic and really really impressive. Knitters should run the world.
May 4th, 2007 at 9:34 am
Dropping in from the Harlot also, but I think I’ll stay
As I was looking at the pictures I thought “that looks alot like home” and as I click through your links, sure enough, KIMBALLS! I grew up in Maynard and LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Kimballs. Thanks for the memories. The glove is fantastic, such an endeavor.

[…] Got a real big hand? Make it a really big glove in self striping yarn. I found this at Almost Random. I don’t think you can tell from the picture, but that hand is a chair. A big chair. Big enough for an adult to sit in. […]
May 4th, 2007 at 10:52 am
Okay, this has nothing to do with the glove. That Red Sox baby surprise sweater is AWESOME. My hubby would love that.
May 4th, 2007 at 11:14 am
WOW!!! I mean WOW WOW! That is the coolest idea I have ever seen!! congratulations on finishing it and it is absolutely fabulous!!!

Awesome and amazing are overused, I know, but I can’t think of any better words to describe…OMG! Are you the knitter who knit the ranch house? I thought that was just an urban myth but now, having seen the glove, I can totally believe it! I bow before your knitting greatness.

Incredible job! Are you taking orders for others with hand chairs??? GAH!!! Can you imagine - “Yes, one supersize chair glove . . . that’ll be $50,000 please!”
May 6th, 2007 at 7:33 pm
Yes, for $50,000, I will indeed knit another hand chair glove.
May 6th, 2007 at 9:16 pm
o wow. WOW.
May 6th, 2007 at 9:20 pm
Awesome!!
May 7th, 2007 at 8:24 pm
There are no words to describe how impressed I am with this!
Knowing how to knit comes in “handy” doesn’t it!!

Magnificent! Absolutely Magnificent!

[…] I think this project falls into the “Most creative use of Yarn” category. A free form glove to fit a co-workers unusual chair. What dedication, what design, what a huge undertaking! I am constantly in awe of the creative mind. And the ability to finish a project, LOL […]

well ! when you decide to give someone the finger, you aren’t messing around.
if i ever get a hand chair (because now i SOOOO want one) it will be getting a mitten, because i’m just not that ambitious…
great work!

Just a quick question for you. Have you ever considered submitting this humongo glove to the genus book of world records? I mean seriously they would have to make a new catagory for your glove but it would be worth it. This is truly amazing and not to mention the dedication you must have had to finish such a fabulous project. Kudos to you my dear!! Awesome!
Blessings,

Just what you need…another comment! But WOW that is the most interesting thing I’ve seen in quite a while. (yes I came over from the harlot’s site). I especially like the fun things you did with it!
June 5th, 2007 at 7:08 pm
I am totally in awe - what a great fun project! Now for the giant sock…

hi i enjoyed the read

OMG!
I have 2 of these hand chairs in purple.
I want gloves. My girlfriend hates my chairs. Maybe she’ll like them better with giant gloves on them.
Really! email me. I want gloves for my giant purple hand chairs.

[…] First up, I have finally discovered where the line must be drawn for truly pointless knitting. There was the knit ferrari, then a completely knitted picnic in the UK that I can’t seem to find a link to, and then, of course, the giant glove. But those were for fun with no stated purpose. This, however, is for sale. Behold, the apple jacket, discovered by my friend Megan. […]

You have created a monster!
I just started knitting 1 week ago…made my first pair of slippers.
And my sister is “Kim, with the two purple hand chairs.”
She’s already has solicited my amatuer skills.
It’ll be years before I could tackle that!
Thanks for the inspiration though
