Comment by purly girl 4 hours ago: My order of yarn is on the way. I'm finally on Ravelry, too....soooo...my queue is FULL... I want my yarn now! I'm getting kinda bored with the ten other projects I'm knitting right now!

Comment by purly girl 1 day ago: Oooh--I like that color! Lovely...I'm jealous. I'm still waiting on yarn. Is that the telemark? I'm glad I ordered that...

Comment by Mary 1 day ago: I changed my picture of me!

Comment by Mary 1 day ago: Left glove is coming along well...done through one index finger!

Comment by purly girl on May 9, 2008 at 3:45pm: I ordered some telemark...in curry and some spring-greenish color (name??) Maybe they'll look awful together...I'm color-stupid, haha...but I look forward to this! Yes, knit-kitty--definitely worth it!

Comment by knit_kitty on May 9, 2008 at 1:44pm: I took the book out from the library to check it out before buying. I dont need another knitting book ya know. But after I looked at the book and the patterns I feel in love. Definitely worth the purchase. Patterns range from fairly simple *for gloves that is* to more challenging.

Comment by purly girl on May 8, 2008 at 7:50am: *sigh*...I gotta order some yarn...but Elegance is lace weight--not so much for this...I didn't pay attention. Hope I can get started soon!!! I will go for Telemark for one pair...I'm anxious to swatch!

Comment by Mary on May 7, 2008 at 7:15pm: Well, I swatched out the Telemark - I'm making the Women's Small size Glove and I need to use #2 dps. I'm done with 20 rows - that's up to the second decrease row. The Telemark is very smooth and even and I like it!

Comment by purly girl on May 7, 2008 at 3:48pm: So, I'm thinking Elegance Alpaca blend would be nice for the fingerless gloves. I'm starting with those, I think...but I'll have to get the yarn. I'm thinking lilac for the color? Or maybe just plain oatmeal...I thought a nice smooth yarn for the fingerless--but I think Suri Dream would be great for a different layer!

Comment by purly girl on May 7, 2008 at 10:05am: My book DID come! I will see about what yarn i'm going to use for p 119...happy knitting!
