I asked DH what knit item he wanted for Christmas .. first he wanted convertible gloves, then he changed his mind and wanted 'cut off gloves'. So those he got.

Previously, I used the glove pattern from Knitters Book of Pattern, bottom up. This time I tried a new pattern, knucks, top down. I did not like the results. The finger / hand join is a straight line, which makes a wonky and not well fitted glove. I am either going back to the glove pattern from Knitters Book of Pattern, or try another one. They seem a little snug to me, but he is ok with them. Yay. Super fast prez!

Earlier this year, Mom sent me the leftover yarn from knitting my dad a sweater. Perfect for another vest for him. He wears the other one I made a lot. This is the same yarn, same style. When her and I first talked about this vest, it was a "take your time... no hurry.". Then fall came and he wanted to know if it is done yet. "Er. I have not started yet!". So I cramped, finished just in time, and managed a quick phoneto before it was sent away.

Cross fingers that no alternation will be necessary.

... a cute crochet vest. I had hope to finish it when it is warm, not after the freakish snow storm in November. It sat around a lot. Work got in the way. (Wow, I don't really mind typing that. Just very glad to be working ..)
