A Finished Valentine's Gift
I know it's about a week late, but I finished my husband's gloves.
In answer to Christine's question, the gloves were originally going to be a surprise. I was worried about the fit when I got to the fingers, so I ended up telling him. He didn't mind knowing or going through frequent fittings to make sure the gloves fit. The first hand took awhile because I needed Mike to try it on everytime I was close to finishing a finger. There isn't much down time between when Mike gets home from work and when he goes to bed for the night, so I was only able to finish one finger per day during the week. Things picked up for the second glove, because I could just count the rows off the first one. Anyway, here's the important info once more for these gloves.
Pattern: Progressive gloves with a basic gusset from the Winter '03 Interweave Knits
Yarn: Peruvian Baby Silk in Galaxy Blue
Needles: Size 0
One pair of Men-Along gloves down, one pair to go!
