I knitted these 2 pairs of gloves with silver metallic thread through them. The stripped blue and grey pair are the large size. They are also my first ever completed knitting project. The smaller purple gloves are a birthday present for my friend, even though its totally the wrong time of year (its summer over here).
The silver thread was just knitted in with the wool. It needs to be pulled tight every now and then. I found joining the yarn back up abit confusing at first, but it gets easier to figure out. Heres the pattern. Enjoy!
