12-12-10: Will finish second glove today. Then I just have to weave in ends, blanket stitch the edges, and weave some elastic into the cuffs to fit Ariana’s skinny wrists. :-) I’m debating whether to wrap them or just give them to her. I know she’s dying to wear them to school and show them off to her friends. How could I deny that?

11-30-10: begin second glove. Hopefully this one will go faster, now that I’ve gotten used to the stranding method. However, I need to remember to knit tightly. My gauge got looser as I went along last time.

11-29-10: finished first glove! Turned out great, with only one color pattern mistake (that wasn’t worth unraveling and fixing). One complaint: this bamboo yarn is soft, shiny, and won’t get too sweaty, but it splits soo easily. Still have to blanket stitch edges. Also, I’m going to run a couple of strands of elastic thread through the cuff to fit Ariana’s skinny wrist. There is no way this would fit my big hands! That’s her modeling in photo #1.

11-17-10: we begin the journey. using size 2 needles instead of the 2.5 the pattern calls for, because I’m making it for Ariana and she’s only 11 - has little hands. Will post photos as soon as I have something to show.
