Garnet Glove and January QBOTM

The left glove is finished and, well... it fits like a glove! I like my gloves snug and the knotwork at the wrist makes it fit just right. Since my hands are long, I added more rows between the thumb and the fingers and knitted the pinky first so I could add 3 extra rows before knitting the rest of the fingers. The pattern is Knotty Gloves by Julia Mueller and the yarn is Knitting Notions Classic Merino Superwash Sock in Sock Club Edition "Garnet".


I also finished the January QBOTM squares for a group swap on swap-bot. The color theme is birthstones, January being garnet. The pattern is Amish Star.

No Frogging! and Gloves

I thought I would try one last chance before I committed to using a solid toe on the socks. I asked on the Knitting Notions group on Ravelry if anyone had any leftover/remnant yarn in the colorway I was using. Well, I have one more reason to love this yarn! The owner of Knitting Notions kindly offered me her leftover from a pair of her socks! Awesome! It will come in the next sock club shipment. Whoohoo!

In the meantime, I have started knitting up the "Garnet" sock club edition yarn in the Knotty Gloves pattern. A few more fingers and one glove will be finished.
