Just for the record, weaving in ends is not my favorite thing to do.
And these mitts..... dang do they have ends!
I'd forgotten how many ends tip down gloves generate. And then, well, with the two-color thing going on, there are, some how, more than twice as many.
Dang.
I was all psyched to say Done! and DONE... but was beginning to think it'd be a couple of days before that happens. Something about burning out on end weaving (not to mention finger grafting). This meant that I'd weave, and kitchener, until I want to throw it across the room, then set the thing down and do anything else for awhile.
And the anything else is so distracting!
There's the man-lace socks... Well, they were gonna be man-lace socks, but the man-lace pattern is doing nothing for me in this yarn.
Again... far too fussy for what you get out of it at this gauge. Froggity froggity.
And then this morning I was attacked by a ball of Sirdar Snuggly Bamboo Baby, which would not relent until I'd cast on for a cowl.
And of course, the ever beloved Irtfa'a, who is declining further photography for the time being.






Those gloves are one of the most awesome objet d'knit I have ever seen. I love to look at them.

Congrats on finishing the gloves. They look great!
So, I've been thinking I need to knit myself a cowl to go with my new winter coat. I'll be looking to you for ideas when I start. ;)
