a pair of fingerless gloves from merino wool. I knitted them on #10's because smaller needles are difficult for me. However, they would be tighter on smaller so hope soon I will "get" knitting on smaller needles.
basically i went from knitting scarves in garter stitch, to trying to knit an easy sweater. the yarn store didnt have the recommended italian yarn. the proprietor gave me this part acrylic part wool yarn which i dont really like but oh well. the sweater is knit in four pieces. i am almost done with the front. I have to pray all four pieces will fit when it is time to sew them together.
i made a gauge but it came out half an inch too small. however, since i had just purchased new #15 needles, i didnt want to drive for an hour to buy some # 17's so just proceeded. ( if your gauge comes out too small you should go up in needle size). i am knitting a medium size sweater which seems gigantic despite the too small gauge.onward.
