In other news, I’ve actually managed to knit some things that aren’t designs. It’s a miracle!
I thought I’d share.
A few weeks ago I promised my brother, Matthew, a pair of fingerless running gloves. I’m sending them to Matt tomorrow, with a little note.

The letter reads,
“Dear Matt, Congrats! You have a pair of Tinking Turtle originals A Few Facts:
- The fiber was named R’lyeh, by a dyer named Cloudlover. (R’lyeh is from a horror story).
- The yarn was spun by me over about 15 hours.
- 1 stitch takes me .0275 minutes.
- Each glove has 2660 stitches.
- Including finishing, each glove took me 2 hrs 10 minutes.
- Total time: 19 hrs 20 minutes.
- Total worth: approx $483*
- Wash in lukewarm water, not in a washing machine. Do not Agitate.
I have mixed feelings about the fingerless gloves. I really like them; I’m thinking about making a pair for myself. Part of the problem is this yarn has been one of my favorites for a long time. I was saving it for something special. When I was looking for yarn to make the gloves, I kept coming back to the color, because it’s masculine without being a boring color, and they’ve got a little bit of interest to them.
I just kinda want them for myself. So I’m going to send them off before I keep them.
