My tension is all over the place, knitting these--tightly one day, paying extra close attention to the chart through the thumb gusset, and then looser as I get into the groove of things. I certainly hope these things take well to blocking!

Oh, they do.

Okay, after months of stagnation, I finally have gotten around to picking up and knitting the lining for these. I don’t know why I imagined it would take a long time, I guess the colorwork takes longer and then just whipping up with a solid color feels much faster, in comparison. Anyway, FINALLY I’m finishing these. I’ll get these off to their recipient in time for next winter.
