Over the past 3 weeks, I’ve finished up three knitting projects that were hanging over my head. First up are Brian’s driving gloves. He requested fingerless gloves to keep his hands warm during the morning commute. I tried to make him these for Christmas, but they ended up being much too small. Finally, at the end of February, he got his replacement.
I’m sort of glad that the first pair didn’t work out. I had used Knitpicks Swish yarn, and I’ve been wearing them since January. They already look pilled and worn out. For these, I used the suggested yarn, Rowan Felted Tweed, which cost literally 3x more than the Knitpicks but I know they’ll look this good years from now. The pattern is from the book Son of a Stitch ‘n Bitch.
Other projects I finished were a pair of felted slippers and the Lace Ribbon Scarf – a springy/summery scarf that I started in August 08. They’re being blocked, so photos to come later.
