Yesterday I made a pair of fingerless gloves for a friend. I was using the second half of Berry Cobbler I used to make my pair of gloves. As I got to the second glove I realized that this was actually the first bit of the yarn I'd plied. Back when I was learning how to Navajo Ply and well really making a bit of a mess of it. At first I thought it was just a bit more lumpy. I called it texture and kept on. Then I finished and realized it didn't just have more texture it was thicker. Quite a bit thicker really.
These gloves were knit on the same needles with the same stitches. But one is a tad bigger than the other. All because it took me a while to get the hang of Navajo Plying. I hope my friend still likes them and doesn't think I'm too much of a freak. Or at least no more than she did before. I mean you could have a colder hand that needs a thicker glove sometimes..... Right?
