Unfinishing

December 1st, 2006

As much as it pains me to say or think about it, I have finally come to terms with the problem about these gloves. The first glove in the pair has fingers that are just too long. They would fit over my fingers perfectly, as I modeled them to fit me. I’m realizing that, if my grandmother’s hands are smaller than mine, the gloves will be way too large as is. Fortunately for my sanity’s sake, I realized this before starting the second glove. However, this means that I need to do some “unfinishing” of the first one. The ends have all been woven in, and it has even been washed!

Look real closely; can you see how the length of the fingertips do not match? I’ve been putting it off for as long as possible, and may be able to put it off a bit more yet. I still need to wash the second glove. However, after that I will be getting no progress on the Christmas knitting if I put it off further. Big sigh.
