Pattern Testing in the Car

It's Wednesday, the day I get to wait in the car, and a great time to crochet.  There was bonus waiting time today since youngest daughter had an orthodontist appointment, so I decided to test the fingerless glove pattern I posted yesterday.

I had just about 2 ounces left of a skein of Vanna's Choice yarn, and I think it's going to be just enough.  I worked up the right-hand glove (all but the joining); didn't fasten off, obviously; and then started the left-hand glove with the other end of the yarn.

This way, if there's not quite enough yarn, I can rip out two or four rows on the right-hand glove and even up the two.  The good thing about this ribbed single crochet stitch is that it makes a fabric soooo stretchy that 24 or even maybe 22 rows (instead of the 26 as written) will still produce a well-fitting glove.  It took less than an hour to get the first one done -- that's how simple this pattern is.

Please visit my new positive thinking blog, Optimystically.  I wrote about visualizing dreams and desires today, and I'd love to get your feedback!

Especially since there are sometimes thoughtful comments I'd like to respond to but the commenter has a no-comment email address, I'm trying another tactic In the never-ending battle of indecision between responding to comments by email or answering them on the blog -- I'll do both! Of course, they'll be the same reply in both places ;)
