Finished!!

I finally finished my pair of Stulpen the other day!!! But, I think I might need to make one minor adjustment. Do you notice anything that could perhaps be wrong with this picture??



Yeah. And do you know what the really sad thing is? I didn't notice this AT ALL until I was completely finished knitting the darn thing! I mean, after I cast off, after I wove in all the ends, after I stepped back and admired my finished project - nope totally didn't notice. Well, until I went to try them on anyway.

So, guess what I'll be making next? Two RIGHT HANDED Stulpen gloves!!!!! Sheesh. Just when you think you have this knitting things down, right? As I was cruising along for the thumb I thought - "Oh, I know I need to do the thumb on this side, I don't need to check". Famous last words. Oh well, I bet I don't ever make that mistake again!

I really do like this pattern though. The lovely cables don't show up very well in the pictures (they show up better in person though) just because I used a variegated yarn. The yarn is really nice though - super soft and yummy! These are made from Knit Witch Cauldron in colorway "Poison Hemlock".

Today we are off to Atlanta! We have a mountain of yarn to drop off at Only Ewe and Cotton Too. I didn't take pictures of the mountain of yarn so you'll just have to imagine that part. We are going to visit my dad after that. There is a surprise waiting for us (and you) at the farm so I can't wait to take pictures of it and show them to you next week!!! I'm not going to tell you what it is though - you'll have to guess!

Have a great weekend everyone!!!
