Wearing my favorite handknit socks (Trekking ribbed sock, right) and working on a new pair (Koigu ribbed sock, left) is the best way to spend this Thursday night. I've been unbelieveably tired lately from my new 6:30 am powerwalking routine, so it's nice to have a night in to knit and catch up on the ER tapes that have been piling up here for a while (thanks, Mum!).

I've finished BOTH of my stripy Project Spectrum fingerless gloves and they have even been passed on to their happy recipient, but I was too lazy to take a photo before handing them off. Unfortunately, I think I cut all the ends too closely on the wrong side and I've been shown on webcam that there are little bits poking through to the right side. Oops! I'm sure they look very homemade (in the negative sense) so they will be back in my hands for improvement (and photo op) soon.

Question: After you weave in ends, especially on projects with oh-so-many of them, how long of a tail do you leave on the wrong side when you do your trimming? I clearly haven't figured this one out yet.
