Second Project: Fingerless Gloves
My new project is the Wizard Warmers by Maire Colclough. These fingerless gloves are based on the ones worn by Gandalf in The Hobbit movies. Aside from my fondness for the inspiration, I love this pattern because it (seems) fairly simple, but immensely useful. As it gets colder, I’ll want something to keep my hands warm as I type that can easily cover more or less of my fingers.
The pattern is not very specific, so I’ve spent quite a bit of time puzzling over what measurements I need and how to get the right size. So, in another first for me, I have actually made a swatch to help figure it out.
I’m using, again, some unlabeled yarn I found in my stash. But I don’t think I’ll run out this time. Maybe.
I spent a few frantic hours today clearing space and cleaning up for someone to move into my spare room, so I'll share a home maintenance tip my dad gave me that I've never seen anywhere else: After spackling, dip a sanding sponge in water and sand the dried spackle. The sandpaper picks up pigment from the rest of the wall and spreads it evenly over the repair. It is way easier than repainting.
