09.21.2004 :: I precict, a new glove will be born!

Let's be honest. We both knew exactly what would happen to that alpaca Band mitten, didn't we? Yes, lickety split it was reduced to a pile of curly yarn. I did not intend to take the cuff out too, but I did. It's done, so I'll get over it. Sometimes it's easier to R&R (the sisterly duo, rip and redo) than to pick up all those stitches. Lazy? Yes, thanks for noticing!
I'm in Glove!
A new knitalong. This would be the perfect place to insert the "I'm in glove" button that I lifted from Johanna's site. It's a cute button, too. But somehow when I save it, it turns to that nondescript Windows thingy when it doesn't know what you are talking about.
Join us in keeping your hands warm? Don't act like you don't know what I'm talking about. It's getting colder outside. (disclaimer: Of course, if you live in a warm climate, you are not getting colder, but maybe your loved one is) Fingers must keep warm. How can we expect them to put out so much energy knitting if we don't treat them with respect? Respect your fingers, Glove them! Mitten them! (cue patriotic music)
Low and Behold
The postman left a nice box on my porch yesterday. You could have blown me over with the proverbial feather when I saw what was inside!

Thank you, Annie! This is a case of wanting something that you didn't even know that you wanted! When I opened the first page of this book, I fell in love. I spent, well, let's just say that I spent a lot of time dreaming in this book. Every single sweater and project appeals to me. It will be hard to narrow one down. I can forsee a Green Mountain Spinnery project in my future.
Call me Madame Sandy, able to look into my crystal ball and predict the future!

Sandy, I just sent you the file for the button, hopefully that will work better.

Anyone else that wants to join the knitalong email me or leave a comment on my blog.

On a different note, I can't believe that you didn't already have that book! It's just screaming your name! Enjoy it.

I love that book! If you're ever in Southern Vermont it's worth a trip to the spinnery.

Count me in for a glove-along. As for your poor frogged glove, at least now you know your gauge with the yarn/needles and you can adjust the # of stitches you cast on when you restart. So something positive came from it. ;-)

Oh yes, a Glove along. I need to finish my silk indigo glove!

Green Mountain has a booth at Rhinebeck. You could pick up the yarn for your next project there. I'm just sayin' . . .

I LOVE that book. Had to own it, which I do. I often dream of making so many of the sweaters. Re: Glove along - I'm so in! I've got one already going. I just let Jo know.

Oh please PLEASE start a Glove-Along! I have been wanting to make a pair of gloves tfor the past few months, but I need a push. A BIG push. As in I'm terrified to even contemplate making a pair. Let me know!

Congratulations on your new addition! The Green Mountain Spinnery book is fabulous.
