Flying Gloves

Sunday, January 6th, 2008

Fly Boy FlyJosh wanted gloves for the winter so he could fly model airplanes. Knitty had just put out the Cigar pattern, so I thought that was a good idea. The pattern called for worsted weight yarn, but Josh wanted the gloves to be thin, but warm. I opted for a wool sock yarn.

The pattern I used was for a full glove, but Josh needed the thumb, index and middle fingers halved. I just had Josh try on the gloves and stopped knitting those fingers when I reached just past the first joint.

Ravel Stash

Sunday, January 6th, 2008

I have been adding stuff to my stash list on Ravelry. My purpose in doing this is to try and find ideas for the yarn I have. I inherited a large amount of acrylic. I want to use it up. I have donated some, but I do want to make some things. So, I am hoping to post some progress reports.
