Vintage Beaded Gloves – Cuff

Originally uploaded by kerner

I loved my sister’s last comment on my blog:
A. I demand a belly picture
B. I demand finished house pictures!
C. Your sister is very demanding.

I took a belly picture, but the internet connection at my house is messed up so I can’t upload. My house isn’t quite “finished” (as in, it’s currently covered in bits of blue tape marking where the contractors need to come back through and fix things). So, she and my other less-demanding readers will have to be satisfied with a picture of some knitting-in-progress for someone that I’m pretty sure doesn’t read this blog.

I’ve been planning on giving this person a scarf I finished this summer, but we all know that a knitter can’t really get into the holiday spirit unless you unreasonably load up on Christmas knitting. (Right?) Anyway, I had plenty of matching yarn left, so I decided I needed to knit a pair of gloves to match the scarf. On Size 1 needles. With decorative beading. Yeah… I’m a genius.

The good news is that I have managed to finish one of these gloves already. So, I just have to finish the other one, along with these other Christmas knitting projects:

A hat
A scarf (or three)
A baby item of some sort
Possibly another pair of gloves? (Probably not, though)

That list doesn’t look so bad… I will have to reassess after this wonderful Thanksgiving weekend which is always great for knitting. What do you think, am I crazy or are you in the same boat with your handmade gift list?
