Karen's Gloves KAL gloves are finished! This is one project I really feel good about. I learned a lot doing this one. Here's the vitals: yarn is Colinette Jitterbug (love it!) in toscana colorway and Universal Pace in cream. Less than one skein of each. Needles: KnitPicks Options (2 circs) size 2 up to the fingers and Lantern Moon Sox Stix size 2 for the fingers.
Tomorrow I will deliver them to the Mid-State Fair, along with a pair of sox. I'll know how I do around the end of the month.
The pattern, Hand Painted Gloves by Karen Neal is available from The Studio in Kansas City.

Clapotis (For Me?! KAL) did not fare so well. It is complete at about 8" short. I finished it, used a BIG PIN and wore it to my H.S. reunion. Got many complements.
A problem I can't see getting around is how "wormy" the chenille part of the yarn is--it's a Drop Spindle hand dyed yarn. I will have to decide if I can live with that BEFORE I decide to frog and re-knit it narrower. Any way, here it is.
This is a Knitty pattern.
