To me they seemed almost magical. I mean, you get to stay home AND play in the snow. How great is that? In Hawaii, we only got to stay home from school once due to nature. It was for a hurricane. Somehow not as magical. Anyway, I was kinda wishing work would have called a snow day. I mean, being a knitter, nothing seems more dreamy than to get my knitting and watch the snow...<br /><br />Check out my little snow-dumped cottage...<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center"><img src="http://knittinglemonade.blogspirit.com/images/medium_snow_cottage.2.jpg" alt="medium_snow_cottage.2.jpg" style="border-width: 0; margin: 0.7em 0;" /></div><br /><br />I knitting news, I finished my Gauntlets last night. Hurrah! I am really pleased with how they turned out, especially with their fit. V. v. sleek.<br /><br />Love the yarn. <br /><br /><div style="text-align: center"><img src="http://knittinglemonade.blogspirit.com/images/medium_koigu.jpg" alt="medium_koigu.jpg" style="border-width: 0; margin: 0.7em 0;" /></div><br /><br />Love the fit.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center"><img src="http://knittinglemonade.blogspirit.com/images/medium_gauntlets.jpg" alt="medium_gauntlets.jpg" style="border-width: 0; margin: 0.7em 0;" /></div><br /><br />Love my new FO! http://knittinglemonade.blogspirit.com/archive/2006/03/10/they-re-like-socks-for-your-hands.html http://knittinglemonade.blogspirit.com/archive/2006/03/10/they-re-like-socks-for-your-hands.html noreply@blogspirit.com () Gauntlets Fri, 10 Mar 2006 09:58:52 -0700 With two pairs of socks down for 2006, I thought I would do a complete 180...Gauntlets. Okay, when I actually think about it they are not THAT different. They are basically socks for your hands. I am knitting them in Koigu KPPM in P505. This is my first time knitting with Koigu and I LURVE it. I mean look how fun the colors knit up...<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center"><img src="http://knittinglemonade.blogspirit.com/images/medium_gauntletcu.jpg" alt="medium_gauntletcu.jpg" style="border-width: 0; margin: 0.7em 0;" /></div><br /><br />So the outlook for 2006? Apprently, I will be very well accessorized.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center"><img src="http://knittinglemonade.blogspirit.com/images/medium_gauntlet.jpg" alt="medium_gauntlet.jpg" style="border-width: 0; margin: 0.7em 0;" /></div>
