Apologies to any Firefly fans who are now slightly freaking out from reading the title of the post, but really, what else could I call it, given that I have been making these?<\/p>\n

These are the Vintage Buttons Gloves<\/a> by Ysolda Teague.<\/p>\n

Since the photo, I have completed the other three fingers, with 2 yards of yarn left in the ball for the thumb. No worries: I have another 3 (or possibly 4) balls, ready to make some sort of neck-warming device to go with the gloves and the hat.<\/p>\n

I love the pattern for these gloves, except that the fingers are really quite chunky. I could easily take out half a dozen stitches and they would still fit fine. I’m not bothered enough about it to reknit them though: there are only so many fiddly, finnicky fingers that one can bear to knit within a certain time.<\/p>\n

I’ll finish these today, so I can show them off tomorrow.<\/p>\n

What’s happening tomorrow, I hear you ask?<\/p>\n

Tomorrow, I am going down to Little Hounsdales Knits<\/a> for a whole day knitting workshop with Woolly Wormhead<\/a>. I will be learning about hat design, possibly figuring out what I need to do to make a hat that is flattering for all the weird head-shapes in this family (my own included), and knitting or talking about knitting ALL DAY. This pleases me.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
