Now I need to block it. Somewhere I have some silk that will make a nice lining. I also thought I might cut a piece of plastic to put in the bottom. I haven’t made up my mind about the ties yet.
I started a pair of cable gloves. They were in Vogue Knitting winter issue. The cast-on was weird. I did a long-tail instead. I have finished several rows and I’m not yet certain that I like it. The magazine also has a pair of opera gloves that I would like to make. They start at the fingertips which I have never tried and i love the design down the arms.
I bought Sock Innovation by Cookie A this morning. I read various sections and I am impressed. I’ll be making good use of this book.

I can’t count how many times I have started something and end up hating the pattern. I have learned to quit early because if I keep going, I am just wasting my time. I never end up liking it in the end.
