Notes

It’s very fun to knit a pattern I haven’t touched in almost a decade… I’ve certainly gotten much faster & my edges, decreases, & grafting are all so much smoother. These used to take me forever but now they fly. First made these in 2008 and then again in 2012. I dyed the yarn with a super cute little tea bag packet from Abundant Earth Fiber.

1/5: Cast on provisionally and will do the cuffs later. Why? Dunno. Just wanted to jump in to the fun part.

2/3: just finished the top of L hand, moving on to thumb. These languished while I was working on my green sweater. Nice little travel project. Is using way less yarn than I anticipated.

Thumb knit on 25 sts

Note to self: graft @ 11 sts on ea. needle
Used this lovely tutorial to get nice rounded edges on my kitchener!

52 sts for cuff (k2p2)
