Blobs are a girl's best friend

Because I certainly don't think they look like diamonds.

I decided this would be my first attempt at being "funky", so the gloves don't match. The diamonds are in different positions on each glove. I even did the thumb gussets differently. Yeah, that was totally on purpose. Totally.

I'm just glad to have these off the needles. It'll mean I can focus my full attention on the baby blanket (HA) and get that finished asap. Then I'll be free to focus on my own fun designs and all the projects I have laying around to finish up.

I'm glad the recipient of these gloves likes them more than I do. She picked up a finished one and put it on, then said: "Oh my God! It fits like...like...a glove! HAHAHAHAH!" Yeah, she couldn't believe she actually said it either. I hope she gets lots of wear out of them.

I wasn't planning on making a pattern for these just because they're so simple, but if anyone actually likes them, I can put up some guidelines or something for how to create them.

I know the people who visit the blog typically are more knit happy than spin happy, but I wanted to post this image just because I think it's an interesting comparison.

The little skein on the left was created using the navajo plying method, and the skein on the right is a 2 ply. It's pretty amazing how big the difference is, I think.

Now that I've finished something up, I have to go and continue my war with the baby blanket. Wish me luck.
