Are you pondering what I am pondering...

It's been a while since I did any self-portraits - I have become horridly self-conscious about how I look in photos, and I find that 99% of the photos of me I dislike were not taken by me. Coincidence? I think not.

Of course, you can't see much of me in the above photo, but you can see the important part, and that is my gloves. I *finally* have fingerless gloves. When the weather is starting to turn more spring-like.

Pattern - Marnie MacLean's Hooray for Me Gloves
Yarn - Lorna's Laces Shepherd Sock, Cedar, less than one skein (as a rough estimate, approx. 175 yards of the skein were used)
Needles - KnitPicks nickle plated DPNs, US2.0 for the cast on, US1.5 for everything else
Modifications - my gauge is tighter than the pattern's listed, and my hands are most likely bigger than Marnie's, so I cast on a total of 66 stitches per glove and modified the number of stitches per finger to suit my needs. The pinky was done first and then I added extra rows to the other three fingers to fit my hand shape. I did a purl bind off to prevent rolling and to give them a nice finished look at the fingers.

I still have one full skein plus the remaining bit from this skein left of this yarn, I am going to be working on toe-up socks for me to use up the rest of it since this is part of my stash knit down (even though this yarn has only been in my stash a short time since I had swapped some other sock yarns for it and a bunch of Cascade 220).

Next post - progress on my Mr. VaaJeans continues nicely.
