I go to the store looking for my size 14/16s (I'm 5'2") and they only come in regular length. Like how tall would you have to be to wear a size 14/16 and look slim? I'd have to be lie 6' tall! Maybe I'm just vertically challenged. And it's okay if you have Hummel fingers - they may be small, but mighty. Look at all of the things you create with them. I HATE shopping. Period. If it isn't bad enough to walk out of the changing room in a pair of cords- the noise of your thighs rubbing together preceding you and the mere rubbing causing a small fire only to look over at the 20-something admiring her well-placed bum in the same pants in a size 0 next to you as you try to extinguish the flames of your corduroy fire...

Lay your hand on a<BR/>sheet of graph paper and draw around it and see how the place where the fingers end is not on the<BR/>same line of the grid. Most glove<BR/>patterns have the thumb offset for obvious reasons but the fingers all beginning in the same row of knitting. That does not fit most hands. What I do (working cuff upwards) is begin the tube with some sort of ribbing or other narrowed whatever to keep the wind out, widen slightly as I pass the lower palm and branch out a tube for the thumb. Then I continue this narrowed tube to the branching off of the pinkie finger, then keep the resulting narrowed tube going for a bit and branch off yet again for the index finger and some more narrowed tube and only then divide that for the middle and ring fingers. I use Meg's Icord idea for each finger, having scooped up some of the surrounding fabric in the palm to incorporate into a hole-less base for each finger and I go it one further by making the finger with one fewer stitch than it needs and latching up the "ladder" that comes with the first few rows of Icord to become that missing stich.<BR/><BR/>I am certain sure that you will work out a way to combine the yarns you have with the yarns you need to buy (see, any excuse to buy yarn is good) to make one of a kind, not weird, use up the last bits of the hat and scarf yarns and end up with leftovers to begin <BR/>another cycle of "how can I use this yarn to advantage" perhaps, mittens for days when gloves are not needed.<BR/><BR/>And Happy Holly-days,<BR/>LindaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10901468.post-19611957626111815642008-12-03T15:47:00.000-05:002008-12-03T15:47:00.000-05:00I hear ya.

I'm toeing the line quite carefully.<BR/><BR/>Your reason to knit gloves is my reason to knit socks. I wear a man's size 11 or 12 shoe. (I'm not a man.) We went to Florence, Italy on vacation. All I wanted to bring home was a beautiful pair of Italian leather shoes. Alas, I was told that they do not make women's shoes in my size in all of Italy. "Maybe in Germany," I was told.
