They're finished, hooray! Like you, I did my fair share of unknitting, as well as muttered under-the-breath swearing... but I cracked it in the end. Actually, once I got my head around it, and learnt to only knit when awake and able to concentrate, the pattern didn't feel too tricky. It's certainly a lovely, quick stash-busting knit. I've really enjoyed the Knit Along and I'm impressed that I managed to finish them in twenty days- pretty speedy for me!
I persuaded D to take some photos for me before he left for work- hence the bed-head!
I'm very tempted to keep them as the perfect Autumn warmer but they're destined to be a present for a dear friend who moved away last week.
I'm looking forward to seeing your finished articles.
Love from
Laura

ReplyDeleteThanks for all the kind comments, everyone- I really appreciate it! For the record, I'm not sure I could have managed them (or not the thumb gusset, at least!) without the helpful knitters on the Ravelry knit-along forum. Laura x
