I’ve nearly finished the first hand now – just one fingerless finger and the thumb to go before the hand part is finished. Looking good!

I’m afraid it may go on like this for a while but I’ve made a good start on the first glove – I’m a third of the way up the palm already and I think they’re going to be gorgeous.

Cuff is half done. Too exhausted to contemplate anything more creative.

Using the pale blue Koigu sock yarn I bought a few weeks back to knit a new paid of flip-top mitten-gloves – someone in the accounting department told me that, come winter, everyone on our floor is permanently rugged up in overcoats and gloves, so I think it’s best to be prepared!

This is a bit like baby-clothes-knitting in preparation for the baby’s arrival.

Red with a purple/blue stripe. I think it’s going to work well.

First attempt has drawn a lot on an existing pattern, but isn’t right, so I guess I’ll have to deviate more and be more adventurous. Fun!
