Yez, I took ze two cheeldren to zee Zee Peenk Panzer zees afternoon. So funny! We all looved eet.
And, yez, I am kneeting my firzt pair of gloovez! (Okay, enough of the fake French accent. I am much better at it vocally than in type.) Why? Well, because this happened to my lovely, 100% cashmere, made in Italy, TJMaxx gloves. First,
which I tried (poorly) to fix. And then this
which I haven't bothered to fix. The yarns have just seemed to evaporate away. Nothing but dust left on parts of the thumbs, and now the virus has moved up to other parts. Pooh.
Did you ever try to buy a nice pair of gloves at the end of February? Not even in Buffalo. All that's left in the stores is crap. So, what's a knitter to do? Make herself a pair of gloves!
After a good hour, at least, the other day spent perusing all of my knitting books and doing lots of googling, I was delighted to discover nonaKnits: Project - Gloves. I considered these, but here, as long as you're over 35 years old (my kids don't give a damn if their fingers are cold) you want gloves. A pair in the pockets of every coat and jacket you might grab before racing out the door. And you want them to have FINGERS!
So, I hunted up this cutie-pie ball of Koigu, which nicely matches the hat I recently made for myself (and yes, I DID finish the embroidery, see?)
CRAP. You know this is the THIRD time I've lost this post and had to re-write... GRRRR. What was I saying? Something about how I now have six I-cord fingers done. Here are the pics.
Yeah, I'm a little bummed I missed nona's Peaceful Palms Knit Along, but it is still a cool pattern and if I can crank out the rest of these gloves before my store-bought black ones totally disintegrate, and if it doesn't get too freakin' cold over the weekend (which, unfortunately, even though today was in the 40's, it is predicted to do) I'll be in fine shape. That is, if I ever succesfully finish the post and log off the computer and go back to my knitting!

Great...I love this posting, really well, I too was recently looking for a Pashmin aShawl and went to a few stores to see what they had, and got nothing but imitations. Then i came across an online site
WWW.PashMinaInternational.Com where i got the real stuff and at excellent deals.
See for yourself . They have an excellent selection. Enjoy your winters with Pashmina !

Those gloves look great so far! I knitted a scarf out of that Koigu, and loved it. I can't wait to see how they come out!
