The finished result is nice &#8211; soft, with a satiny feel, but it&#8217;s a bit odd to knit with. Maybe it&#8217;s just a getting-used-to-it thing. It does have a fuzzy tendency. I noticed it particularly in the ribbing. I was definitely defuzzing as I knit. But, as I said, he is happy, so who am I to complain? I&#8217;ve done the ribbing for the second glove, and will hopefully finish that tomorrow.<br \/>\nI also managed to get about 2 inches done on my Cleckheaton sweater. I&#8217;m trying to make myself finish this before I start Gigi. Motivation, I hope \ud83d\ude42<br \/>\nI also put my car in for a service today. It never quite works like that though, does it? She needs new brakes, and won&#8217;t be ready until tomorrow. So now I am without car, $100 worse off than I expected, and I am minding my niece tomorrow, so I get to convince 2 children that we need to walk to the mechanics. Hmmm, less yarn money, and less knitting time. Hmph!!<br \/>\nWho needs brakes anyway?? \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I finished the first of DH&#8217;s gloves.
