More gloves

-

 Linda K sent a pix  of the three pair of Koigu gloves she got way back 10-15 years ago. She had kept them as gifts, then life got in the way and they were put away, just recently unearthed.



Wish I knew how to have the pix show up  beside each other, maybe some day.

I  went to town on Wednesday  for the permanent jacket crown on lower front tooth, expensive but should last the  rest of my life. And have to go back next week as  drivers license will expire the end of this month.

With current socks in time out decided to go with another pair of gloves.  A new ball of  Koigu from the stash  (green) all the rest are  leftover bits,  am sure  some are over 10 years old,  I save everything. If I ever get anywhere Koigu is sold will watch for several colours thee  I am nearly out of (lime green).

 

Spring is trying  to show up, have heard the first bunch of trumpeter swans  flying north, Tatlayoko Lake is open so they are spending time there. And my driveway is a mell of a  hess, 75% mud with deep ruts from any vehicles that come down.

    Love the gloves! I never got around to making them - too fiddly for me - but I love the look of them!!! Too bad you're in the middle of Mud Season - but I suppose you just have to wait a couple of weeks for it all to dry up. We're having summer right now on the Wet Coast although a cool wind is blowing. I do have my walking shorts on & had my lunch OUTSIDE on my porch.

Finally got myself to town Dec. 27-28. Prescriptions, haircut, groceries, and most important getting bank Visa problems straightened out. Tried dealing with bank via telephone and both times I connected got someone that wouldn't acknowledge that I was hard of hearing, heavy accents didn't help. Had 7 charges for Play Station almost $1000, since I've never even seen one, wasn't me . Because of all the weird charges they wouldn't activate the new Visa card. A good weather window opened so in I went, took almost an hour getting everything straightened out. Meanwhile when I did get to the grocery store almost filled my buggy with produce and fruit. Had help unloading the car when I got home Thursday 3 ish. Did bring a nasty bout of the local crud home with me, first time in several years that a cold hit me so hard.  One of the first pair of Koigu gloves I did were for me, but last winter I snagged middle finger on a nail on my handrail, brought them up front, cut off da...

Gloves and such

In 2015 I sent Jean Miles in  Edinburgh a surprise pair of the gloves I'd been working on while rereading her blogs, first pix one taken at her place. Second taken while dressed in woolies to go on an recent outing.                       Orangerinos all finished waiting for a dip thru a Eucalan bath.  Current pair started with a base colour of turquoise, leftover Koigu choices are getting a bit thinner but still have enuff to finish this pair. When I first started saving Koigu it could be had for $9 a skein, now  I believe its over $16 US (means almost $21 Canadian, plus crazy post from wherever it comes from). Also have socks on needles, this is one of the last pair ordered (ahem a couple of years ago), no pix yet as I believe they are to be a surprise. For the most part this winter has  been verra mild, right now there isn't any snow, none. According to weather peoples we are due for another blast of arctic a...

 Long time.  Made these for a  lady  in  Banff,  she chose the colours. When I sent a pix she said she didn't like  where and how I'd placed the colours in the patterns. Slowly I replied. Then she said when I knit the next pair to put this colour with another etc, again  slowly (burn underway)  I told her that it didn't work that way.  Wouldn't do another, so she said she'd take them the way they were with a discount.  Honey, to late sold them elsewhere. And I 'm glad I don't take any  money  up front. Fraternal and size 10. Have come really close to making the ugliest Monstersocks, bottom pix are closest so far. Was without the internet from 15 - 29 April, amazing how  much  knitting time that freed up. Did the  3 pair shorties in  that  time frame, mix and match.  All are the same number of rows approx sized 7.5 to 8.5.   Next pair  were to fill an older order. Spring has finally s...
