I finished the gloves yesterday. Here they are.
My knitting production for 2005 is way down. I don't even think I finished a single project in June. We are 3/4 of the way through 2005 and I've done 12 pairs of socks, 3 pairs of mittens, 2 hats, 2 pairs of gloves, a cloth, a cozy, and some finger puppets. (In 2004 I finished 36 pairs of socks, 14 hats, 9 scarves, 4 pairs of mittens, 4 pairs of gloves, a baby sweater, and some miscellaneous stuff.)
The lack of interesting knitting patterns the past few years finally took its toll on my knitting output. Fortunately there are plenty of new books coming out to get my production back up in 2006. In fact I have to go right now and check to see if Amazon has the new Charlene Schurch sock book available yet.
