Today I was originally going to type out a huge rant about how much I hate Blogger because they keep changing the layout of their commenting form and it's all in Thai for me, but then I realized that I've had a knitting project complete for two weeks without mentioning it! The horror!
These are fingerless gloves, knit from a pattern my sister saw at River City Yarn. I really ought not to have knit them already as I already had a project on the go, but the yarn was so pretty and tempting. It was a nice break from Madeline's knitted tank, actually. The pattern is a simple 2x2 rib, and they knit up very quickly. I was a little worried as I saw another pair of these knit in the same yarn (different colourway), and the colour variation on each glove is so different that it looks like they were knit with two different colour ways! Luckily, both of these gloves complement each other. I hope that Julie likes them ...
I'm very close to finishing Madeline's tank - the body is finished, and I am two rounds away from completing the ruffle for the top. My next step after that is tacking a three-needle bind-off to attach the two pieces (going to be interesting as I've knit everything in the round and don't have three needles in the same size), and then, when my parents arrive in a few weeks with my Harmony DPNs, I can start the i-cord for the straps.
YAY!!! I am excited for my new gauntlets! I can do bullets and braclets with them. Wonderful!
