Subway Knitter ...not afraid to knit in public
According to Johanna, gloves and mittens seems to be the latest project of choice for the Knitsmiths. Could it be that the group is reaching sock fatique? I don't believe it!
Whatever the reason, my gloves are working up nicely. I altered my Urban Necessity pattern (link on sidebar) for a slightly different gauge. When I slip on the glove, the Cascade 220 makes my hands feel nice and warm.
I don't mean to flog my own pattern, but I am remembering why I designed this pattern in the first place: these pair of gloves will be the perfect subway-communting accessory!
I wove the ends in as I knit each finger. No matter what I do, I cannot avoid getting small gaps at the base of my fingers. I have accepted these gaps as inevitable, and I have left myself an extra long tail of yarn with which to close these gaps. There will be no drafts on my hands this winter!
Next up: mitten tops.

jump to the comment formI just started my mitten tops last night! Finished pairs on Sunday perhaps? Group photo at Knitsmiths? Maybe we can get Dana to bring/wear hers also!
Welcome to your new digs, I hope they treat you well.
I wondered where you'd gone for a moment! You have every right to flog your own pattern, I'm pretty sure I shall be making some very shortly, we have a glove thief in our house.
i love these gloves! how many skeins of cascase 220 did you use? i have this one skein of luscious purple at home that i don't know what to do with :) it's either gloves, mittens, or arm warmers depending on how much i need!
Love them! Will the mitten tops also be gray & green?
Love the new look! I hear you're going to be in our neck of the woods soon... Hope to see you at The Point!
