Toasty is done

And, it's done, after all the drama over the bleepin' thumb hole, the rest of it was easy. Even the picking up the stitches and doing the thumb was easier than making the wretched hole. Go figure. Will I do a second glove? Not sure. Might try a different yarn. Just need some guidance on sewing in and this little beggar's done.

Knitting a Toasty

I love the vague shorthand that is often used in knitting. For example, in a fingerless mittens pattern called 'Toasty', she uses a 'CO'... now, 'CO' could mean 'cast ON' or 'cast OFF'... I assumed it meant cast OFF. It didn't. If you presume 'cast OFF' you get this:



Let this be a lesson to pattern writers, please include an explanation of your shorthand so those of us who don't have telepathy can know what you mean. Tah.

Other than that, I have been ok with the pattern, admittedly, it's my first glove ever, perhaps that's why I feel so frustrated with the 'cast On' 'cast Off' issue. Crochet is 'chain' to start and 'fasten off' to end. No confusion there.
