Imagine the Pictures...

Okay...I'm trying to upload some picts of my recent WIP's, but Blogger seems to be having a problem with doing this function.
So, when it lets me, I'll show you, because I do have pictures.

In the meantime, I've decided to gift my fetching fingerless gloves to my great-aunt. She's visiting my parents and me from northern Maine and she had mentioned how she would like some fingerless gloves to wear when she drives. (And yes, she's 80 and still drives!)

Yesterday, my hubby and I went to the local Sam's Club, you know, picked up some pillows, some crackers, bagels, laundry detergent and on the way back, he stopped at the new LYS that opened near us! Isn't he sweet? This store was very nice. The people were friendly, the yarn was displayed and labeled in white shelves. They had a vast selection of sock yarn, wool yarn, cotton and the novelty yarn. (The pictures I want to show you all is the yarn my hubby picked out for himself.) I'm going to make him this hat. Don't you just love Knitting Pattern Central? So, he picked out a Cascade 220 wool, heather, in color 2452 (which on the label they have "turt", short for turtle perhaps?) If you scroll down on the linked page, you'll see the color. I also picked up color 9407 ("cele", celery perhaps?). I was going to knit the fetching gloves for my great-aunt in this, but decided to gift my brown ones instead. (I can make more!)

I also had a picture of the sideways garter stitch gloves I made. (This is not the pattern from the winter '02 issue of Spin-Off. My other aunt gave it to me when I was visiting and it has a different source.) I was making them for me, but when I started to seam them, the fingers are too short. So, I'm gifting them to the LittleOne who will probably need them in the next few weeks when we walk to school.

So there is the descriptions for the pictures I have waiting in the wings (once Blogger cooperates). If you close your eyes, you might be able to visualize...

Have a great day!!!
