No Need for Overtime Here

Finished!!!!!

No time to chat.  The overtime period of the USA vs Canada hockeye game is about to start.  Go USA!!!!

Approaching the Finish Line

I'm getting very close to the finish.  I have 4 more digits to knit, but I'm sure I'll make it.  I'll get a little time in this afternoon and then a good chunk of time during the gold medal hockeye game:  US vs Canada.  Here's where it stands.

Back to the knitting.  Next post will be the finished gloves.

Trailing the Pack

I'm a little behind schedule for the Knitting Olympics/Ravelympics, but not by much.  Today is going to be a busy day (so why am I wasting time on the computer?) but I hope to finish the first glove tonight while watching the Winter Olympics.

Here's the progress so far:

I am absolutely in love with this project.  It is going to be very difficult to let Blake have them and not keep them for myself.  Doesn't the glove fit perfectly on  me?

Since this is turning out to be such a quick project, I will definitely be making more.  Maybe I'll make myself a pair in the teal that Blake didn't want.

Knitting Olympics

Got off to a rocky start. I wanted to make Blake's gloves match his scarf by using both teal and brown yarn.  I cast on Friday, but after going a while, I realized the gloves were going to be way too big for Blake.  I was using two strands of yarn and #3 US needles.  I gave up on Friday night and went to bed.

Saturday morning I cast on  again using only a single strand and #2 needles.  Blake said given the choice of colors, he wanted brown gloves.  So now I'm back at it.

Here's the progress so far.  I'm just starting the increases for the thumb.
