I knew I wouldn't finish the glove on Sunday. I jinxed myself.
Well, really, I started playing computer games and never picked up the glove.
However, I finished it last night.
Well, almost finished. There's an end or two to be woven in.
Of course, that's just glove number one.
These gloves were supposed to be a stash busting exercise, using up the leftover yarns from my Fair Isle Sampler Hat.
Guess what?
The main colours, the green and the blue? I've run out and need to order another ball of each. I will end up with more of those yarns than I began with.
Stashbusting, my butt!
Twinkie knows that if she gets into her hutch at night, she'll get vegies.
So she thought she'd give it a go in the daytime. Nice try!

The glove looks gorgeous! Cant wait to see the pair. Is there such a thing as second glove syndrome? Like Second Sock Syndrome?

Posted by: Katt Walker at July 4, 2006 06:27 PMThe glove is beautiful. I guess with all that blue and green you're going to have left over you will have to find another stashbusting project. :)
Twinkie is adorable. Smart too. :)
Posted by: Samantha at July 5, 2006 12:52 AMThe glove looks wonderful. I don't envey the ends though. I can't get over it that Twinkie is such a huge bunny and soooooooo cute! ;o)
Posted by: Monika at July 5, 2006 02:23 AMThe glove is awesome. Maybe someone out there in blogland has some leftovers from their hat. Twinkie, as always, is adorable.
Posted by: Jill at July 5, 2006 03:35 AMKudos to you for knitting gloves WITH FINGERS! Geez, that's something I don't even want to attempt. And those ends....get yourself a lovely drink and hunker down with your darning needle. They do look lovely though....can you just leave the bit hanging off the fingers? :-D
Posted by: Evelyn at July 5, 2006 05:39 AMThe glove is a work of art, I love it. Where are you ordering the yarn from? Is it available locally? It is just that I bought a glove book off ebay that uses the same yarn.

Posted by: wool winder at July 5, 2006 11:50 AMLove the gloves! I will have to try gloves some day. Mittens are just so easy.
Posted by: Chris at July 6, 2006 06:58 AMIsn't that always the way with stashbusting projects?!
I love how pets refuse some training, but pick up on others really fast!! You've got a smart girl there!
Posted by: Debby at July 6, 2006 12:08 PMAmazing glove. I love it.Clever clever bunny. Thing is will she sit there till night time? Or just hope for extras?
Posted by: Carol at July 6, 2006 04:26 PMLOVE the gloves. That's one of my "will make" projects this year. Funny..I bought the Fair Isle cardigan kit form Knitpicks, and I was thinking what I'll do with all that extra yarn, and..ta-dah, I'll make fair isle gloves!
