The scarf is also coming along nicely, as it's my go to project if I'm
watching a movie or need something almost mindless to work on. Then
there's.... another needle parted ways and on the Sheepicorn socks to
boot. I'm just getting to the heel gusset on those and the tip just
folded and came off. So that has to wait until next month to get a new
needle. Wish I had enough money to buy multiples of the sizes I need. Oh
and I should get a new needle gauge as well. Mine is the old white
plastic one that the writing is almost all worn off.
I also discovered another mistake...with the green glove cuffs. I somehow added in an extra stitch on both of them. That's an inch of knitting done and it goes all the way down to the cast on. So. I will have to pull them off the needles and restart. Sigh.
The pattern on the gloves calls for 16-18 sts for the thumb gusset, I saw another pattern that said 19 but it was a different pattern. I just knitted this to 19 stitches and it is way too loose. Going to have to take it back four or six rows. The length for the palm is fine, but the thumb gusset is horridly too big. So glad I have them separated and can stop the other glove where it is. I forget that this is supposed to fit snugly because it is supposed to have negative ease.

So onward and upward, it's been cold and cloudy today, perfect weather for working on warm knitting.
