Anyone still working on these? Just wondering if I am the only one that started but never finished them or if there are others in the same boat. One finger done, mitten raised, second finger made too long. I think I frogged it back and need to march on, any one to join me?
i know it's July ... the time when MOST people are thinking about summer
but knitters are thinking of knitting stuff for cold weather
maybe it's time to start knitting the gloves - got the yarn, needles & pattern
since i am the one that convinced karen to do the KAL
i 'spose i SHOULD start my gloves
working on a sweater right now
almost done
got to go to KC a few times
never stay for more than 38 minutes
life is good .. kinda busy
will have to look for patterns, yarn & needles
so i can start the gloves
I am back moving forward and stuck again. I am so brain dead, I am wondering why I ever thought I could knit these. ... I was farther than this when I frogged the first time. Yet that is before dad died, I had to bury him, make decisions for my mom, then she died, now I just have to finish cleaning their house out from 100miles away, get it sold and be trustee for the next 24 years, should the good Lord tarry that long.
As I was tinking back I kept saying this is so familiar, why can't I find it in the chart. So tonight when I picked it up again I said why not check the other chart dumby. Since I had only tink about 1 3/4 rows I checked the chart there and sure enough I found where I was. Woo Hoo! So I knit up though row 8 the second time though chart A. Now it is time to start the thumbs, fine. I see the directions for one thumb. I an missing where it says to make increases for the second thumb. Since I am a two at a time magic looper, I have to know how to do both before I can start row 9. maybe sleeping on it another night I will know what I am doing again when I pick it up again. I pray that is the case. Good night! =-)
well, it's that time again
time for gloves & mitts
well ... it's 70 degrees at 8:22 PM in Ga
but i am thinkin' about gloves & mitts
so, what have YOU been up to
The jusyAny one still here? I picked my gloves back up last night and could not find where I had left off in the pattern. Well I know I am in the part of the cuff I was doing a little different. I had lost the chart I had made for it. I tried to make another chart and was sure it was not the same. Then I found the original one I had made. So I finally put these back on the top of my to do list. Pulled them out at the wrestling meet and could not fine where I was. I was about 20 sts over in a row. Yet none of my rows started that way? I do not know what to do. I am thinking I meed to tink back to the last solid color row. Yet dreading the thought of doing that. I had picked them up while watching a movie over the holidays but thought it would take too much concentration! Now what should I do?
The July 21, 2007 post shows the change was was making in the cuff. it took going back a ways to find it.
Hi all!
You will never believe what arrived in the mail today! The "stolen" gloves that I worked so hard on last year. Yes, those beautiful gloves that I thought were gone forever came home! There was no letter of explanation except that they were mailed from the Co. Fair people.
I am speechless!! For those of you who have no idea what I'm talking about, take a look at the Hall of Fame--Sherry G. I exhibited those gloves in our county fair and when I went to pick them up, they were gone and no one had an explanation. Now, 6 months later, here they are!
Color me HAPPY!

I should be hitting new yarn soon. I am getting close to where I frogged from. I just hope what I just volunteered to do does not keep me from knitting. A friend is getting married in August and when she was here visiting a couple of weeks ago I offered to make her an something lace for her wedding. She was back this weekend. It looks like I will be making a tatted garter and a crochet flower girl basket. The good thing is I have made both patterns before. Yet I am having trouble finding the thread vendors tonight. Such is life.
went to a friend's Pajama PartyIt is hard to believe how time has flown. So I went digging back though the months of the blog to find what I was looking for. I found it. Now after taking some time [paper and pencil). I think I am going to make the diamonds like Hilla showed a picture of hers on June 8, 2007 between the snowflake cuffs and the thumb gusset snowflakes. I was not sure I cared for that part when I worked it the first time following the pattern. So that is where I am to date after frogging.
I did a pair of socks that seemed would never end, made 4 baby afghans (all different patterns), next I was asked to make a scarf that turning out barley making it's deadline, followed by 4 pairs of dull felted mittens. The first two were late, the other two had no deadline. After I finished dear youngest son asked for a pair and I said I needed a break from that pattern I would get them by next winter. So tonight watching and old Dick Van Dyke Disney movie Lt. Robin Crusoe I got up to this point for the second time. Moving forward again I hope. I did volunteer to make some things for an August wedding, if she takes me up on it I will have to put them aside to get done what I offered to do. (Tatting and crocheting)
I stupidly did not see which blog I was posting to so please excuse my entry for Idol from last night, Cathy can you delete that entry for me PLEASE?
I need coffee obviously.
I am glad to see you finally have started the gloves, arent' they fun to knit?
