I am a flawed knitter

What is this? Why it's a finished OBJECT ...and me working on the Picot edging on a fingerless glove!


An "Object" Indeed

My husbands comment "That's so 80's". Thanks for the support hun!!

I knit this little sucker in approx 4 hours or so. Super fast! I only got the yarn and fabric on wednesday and it's not even friday!

However I have a few words. I am a flawed knitter. We all know those blogs we know and love. The ones gloriously written by talanted knitters, they only post for FO's and stash enhancments, and you never hear to much about any mistakes they make.

I am a flawed humen being and a flawed knitter! This was my first glove, and my first gussett (sp?). The thumb if you notice has a purled end, it's supposed to be st st. There are holes on the inside in the place I cast off "2 stitches over the gap" whatever the hell that meant.

I thought I did what the instructions asked, but I guess I did not.

I am going to knit the second one next week, and see if I can't fix the mistakes I made. Then if I do manage to knit it "perfectly" I'm going to alter the pattern and replace the Picot's with more ribbing and make a pair with all the Baby Alpaca I have laying around (3 green, 3 red and 3 cream). It only takes one ball for a pair of gloves, Enough for MANY gloves!! Or maybe I'll just go ahead and change it on the second glove, and call it an experiment. Throw caution to the wind my friends!
