Well I've finished one of the fingerless gloves.
I was surprised at how easy I found knitting on DPN's, they always looked so scary to me and put me off. But once I got the first couple of rows out of the way I found it really enjoyable. It was even more addictive because the rounds were nice and quick, so I every time I went to put it down I though 'Oh just one more round then!'
It did help that I was up and awake at 4:30am with a wide-awake Rose for nearly 2 hours, so I got quite a bit done then. She's got into the habit of waking up around that time every day now and I know she's not hungry so maybe I should try leave her to settle herself... Oh I don't know..!?
And look! Cables! I cannot believe it, I've actually mange to knit cables. I know it's a relatively simple cable knit pattern but I'm chuffed that I managed it anyhow..! :-)

Lovely mitt! I was looking at a very similar pattern with a friend today and ooh-ing and aah-ing over it. Good luck with the second one - they're going to be so pretty and useful!

my twinny's daughter around 18 months is having early wake ups and taking a while to settle again...i was telling her that sophia was the same, some weeks would be a perfect routine then she seemed to slip into a different sleeping pattern and i would feel shattered at the 3-4 wake up calls...love the fingerless gloves x
ReplyDeleteWow, your gloves don't look 'relatively simple' they look very clever indeed....big pat on the back me thinks! I don't knit much, but having done a few 'paired' things in crochet, I strongly recommend cracking on with the second one straight away!
ReplyDeleteFunny how with getting up in the night to kids is manageable bu that is about the hardest time I think, it will probably all change again soon enough and is just a phase, it's the hour change next week isn't it? That may help?
Wow! It's lovely! Hope you don't have too many late nights though!! LOL! Cx
ReplyDeleteGreat job! They look so cosy xxx
ReplyDeleteLove the gloves ~ they are really pretty ~ what a fantastic first go at knitting with DPN's! :O)x
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! I have just made some for my dd but a much MUCH simpler pattern. x
ReplyDeleteFabulous gloves. I`m scared of dpns. I always think it looks massively complicated. Really pretty colour.

Love your mitts and LOVE the color, good job on the cables too especially knitting them on DPN's. The first few rows are the worst aren't they. Arrrhh, that's way too early for me, but I am a tad older than you :)
