• Knit-wit

  It helps, I must say, if, when one casts on for a pair of fingerless gloves, one actually follows the pattern for fingerless gloves, rather than that for mittens.

  I thought that 18 rows in DK weight on 3.75mm needles was a tad too many for a thumb, even if it is a Daddy sized thumb.  And, when I got to the 'shape thumb' part of the equation, well, then I knew something was most definitely wrong.

  WIPs list

  • Dream in Color Tulip cardigan
  • Dad's fingerless gloves
  • Summer of Love Lace Socks
  • Le Pull Français
  • Pink Lace Shawl (name escapes me)
  • Debbie Bliss Bolero (black)
  • Fee Lock's Socks (need some red Aran weight yarn - may sort that out tonight!)
  • Tom's Hat (not yet cast on)

  And then there's a sweater I knitted about 10 years ago which really needs me to unravel the neck and reknit it, and not cast it off so tightly that I struggle to get my head through...  There is something else, which escapes me at present.
