Glove love

After so many false starts with Charlotte's Web, it's lovely to be able to settle down and just knit. I am up to the middle finger of my first Brie glove. It feels strange working with such tiny needles (size 2.5mm) after the 6.5s that I used for the Kitty Hat.

The Kidsilk Haze yarn is like knitting spiderweb - in a nice way. It's so soft and lovely, although too easy to drop stitches. I think it would be better if I switched to bamboo needles, which are more 'grippy', but the smallest size I have in bamboo is 3mm.

Oh well, slow and steady wins the race, as they say...

I'm going to be knitting lots over the next couple of months. I need to lose a stone by January 19 - and if I'm knitting, I can't be eating ... well, it helped me give up smoking!
