I had a picture of three projects yesterday, finished projects.
So you can understand why this is a thing for knitters
The gloves – I actually posted the guidance notes on this LJ October,
-cough- 2012 -cough-.
Just after I had knitted the first of the gloves for Gamer. I was making it up as I went along I put the notes up to remind myself how it went, for when I got onto the second one. Probably I hadn’t intended it to be so long. But life happened, Gamer felt it was a bit loose round the knuckles. A winter later and a pair of gloves from my mum, he decided he could live with it. Yet still I didn’t pick them back up, they were a small project and I was in the midst of other more shiny projects, larger projects, projects for me, projects not at the back of the heap that knitted up on wee needles.
But a few weeks ago, I ran out of the project bags (which are shiny in a transparent way) and decided something had ‘to be done!’
So the second glove was knitted, with the notes from LJ. Its not an exact match, turns out I’m rubbish at recording and doing row counts in garter stitch and working out what I meant with the short rows. I do know I want a pair for myself, so the notes will get a second draft. Then I think I need to choose, do I lay it out as a row for pattern, a basic pattern for any knitter or do I make them guidelines for a more experienced knitter, who just needs pointers on how to fit the sideways construction, garter stitch, short rows and kitcheners stitch together in some kind of workable Frankensteinan glove. Its fingerless, what could go wrong???
