Sweet Heart

Pumpkin Girl feels left out. I have my Hourglass sweater and Little Man has his placket pullover. All she has are tank tops from last spring. So I pulled out my copy of Pipsqueaks and showed her Imp. She chose Sweet Heart over Little Star. I let her pick out the colors (pink and red) which she already said would be perfect for Valentine's Day.


I received the yarn (ordered 12/30) today. Perfect! All I need now is to finish Hubby's Scarf.

Fingerless Gloves

This may possibly be my last FO for 2005. Introducing my first pair of (fingerless) gloves!

I signed up for Nona's Peaceful Palms KAL way back when. It took me awhile to get started (long story here). Anyway, once needles were available it took off until I had to work the digits. Working the first glove took longer since it involved constant fittings by Hubby. Once I got the necessary numbers, the second one only took 4 evenings.


Hubby can't wait to use his driving gloves. He even indulged me with some photos.


Fingerless Gloves
Pattern: Modified from Ann Budd
Yarn: LB Wool-Ease in Blue Mist
Needles: Addi Circular and DPNS in US 5

Knitting Hiatus over

Boy did the knitting machine really intimidate me. Instead of opening the video to watch it, I picked up my knitting (after a 2 week hiatus) and finished 1 Fingerless Mitten. I'm working on the second one.
