Let's do the hand jive!
Look! I finished my first fair isle glove which I almost can't believe. The colors are not THAT bad and I think I might actually wear these if I can power through number two. I think I'll stick to mittens after this though, as those fingers are a little too tedious for my taste.
I've decided to blame the rainy and very humid weather my total exhaustion lately. I definitely don't have the energy to focus on another fair isle glove tonight. But I WILL try to eat as many fruits and vegetables as possible in hopes of getting my knitting mojo back (and work mojo too, for that matter)!

Amazing! Do the second quickly, don't loose the drive!

oh wow! that is so impressive!
hope you find your mojo soon; although how bad can it be when you've at least been able to finish a glove like that! ;-)

I'm very impressed! I want to do fair isle but am stupidly afraid... though your knitted success is certainly inspiring!

Your colorwork is impressive!

Wow. I'm impressed. That really looks great!
How are the allergies this spring? Are they contributing to the exhaustion or is it mostly that molasses-like humidity?

Those are amazing gloves and beautiful Fair Isle work!
I hope the humidity becomes more manageable too. ;-)

Very nice glove! It reminds me of Estonian patterns for mittens. The colours are definitely not bad - I like how the brown goes with lighter colours.
I found your blog via your mother's blog - talented family!!

Beautiful, Molly! Way to go on the fair isle!!! I have that one fair isle mitten done, and have stalled on the second... don't let it happen to you! ;-)
