Remember the fingerless gloves I tried to design for my Vesper sock scraps? The thumb I came up with would make an excellent spout cover for a tea cosy, wouldn't it. And it felt okay on my actual thumb, too, but overall this pattern just didn't gel.
Still, I absolutely love these colours, and now that I have a functional fingerless glove pattern, I am as excited as ever about seeing these particular stripes on my hands when it's cold.
So...
Rip.
Wrap (too lazy to get out the swift).
Play.
Oh, come on - how can you not play with such crazy crinkly yarn?
And: tie!
And now it's just soak and hang to dry and re-cake and cast on and make a new pair of stripey gloves. Done and done. Between stints of tax return prep, of course. And knitting a few rounds of those England-bound socks.
Hope you have a great weekend and I'll see you Monday!

I'm very impressed that you go to the trouble of soaking and rewinding! I am super lazy and have been known to reknit something straight from the original project, bad knitter that I am!
I'm quite enjoy frogging something though and have no regrets, if it's not right, it's not right and it will never get used. I may as well accept that and find a new use for the yarn.
I'm impressed I did the soaking too Su... I wouldn't normally but it was just SO kinked, and I don't love knitting with hugely kinked yarn. At least it wasn't a whole sweater to rip and soak and recake - yuck!
