I managed to make up for lost time and then some – I’ve got one glove totally done, and the second is almost done the thumb gusset. Hooray!
And, ahem, I maaaay have started a sweater yesterday. Maybe.

a minor setback
Crap! I was up into the thumb gusset of my first glove (and at the end of the first ball of Baby Ull) when I discovered that the wrist is too big. I have puny wrists and hands, people.
So I just had to rip back 5 inches. Of fingering weight. In a glove which was over 17 inches long so far.
At least the good news is that I have to decrease more, and more quickly? Maybe it’ll go faster this time.

a tiny bit of Olympic knitting
I’ve decided, heck, why not join in the fun. I’ve chosen two smaller projects, events if you will, that I actually really need to get done!
First up are some new black gloves for handbells. We have a performance on Saturday the 20th (at Lee’s Palace!) so these would have to be done by then. Four inches done on the first one, but I’m planning on some hardcore knitting today.
My second project’s deadline is Saturday the 27th, it won’t come out until these gloves are done!
