I’m quite pleased with them, I must say.

-6C – light snow

Just finished the second glove in a bit of a Marathon. All the ends are woven in, but I’m too tired to sew on the buttons and take pictures, so that will have to wait until tomorrow.

In other news, it seems Canada finally won that gold on home soil. Well, as they say, it couldn’t have happened to a nicer guy. Hope, I’ll get to see some downhill tomorrow, though the weather doesn’t look promising.

Yay! My first ever glove is finished. It looks very elegant, I must say. I’m quite pleased with it. Can’t wait for the wraps to dry so I can sew on the buttons and see the combination in all its glory.

-7C – cloudy

My glove has progressed to past the hole for thumb and pinky, and I’m about to start on the index finger.

-13C – light snow

A perfectly lazy Sunday with buttermilk pancakes for breakfast  and lots of knitting during the day. I finished the second gauntlet and started on the first glove.

Picking up stitches for the edging

Did the lower edge and was a bit challenged by the [k1,yf, k1, yf, k1]-into-same-stitch bit. I hadn’t come across that stitch before and was puzzled as to which way the yarn should go around to come forward (I know, sounds silly). So I asked the google, and the google said that’s how bobbles were often made. So I asked the youtube to show me bobble making, and it did. Voila, lower edge is fine, and stitches for upper edge are picked up.

bit of a lazy day

I signed up as a pattern tester for one of the knitting designers on Ravelry and am quite exited about my first project – a gloves and gauntlet combination in variegated and solid yarn. Now I’m digging thru my stash to match two skeins.
