Deja Vu? Deja you!



Yarn: Debbie Bliss Cashmerino Aran
Color: 330010 (blue)
Needle: DPN Clover 6, 4MM
Started: (left) 17 Sept 7:00pm
Finished: (left) 17 Sept Midnight


the left one again... i know. I should have made the right one, but I wanted to make the sizes right for my own hands. the smaller needle size, size US 6 4MM DPN works fine. Perhaps I can make the thumb smaller, but i think it's ok.


Here are the modifications I made based on other people's suggestions before me.

a. the Picot BO was switched to normal BO, it makes the edges not curl out as much... although maybe it's not as pretty, it's functional.

b.the 18 rows of K4 P1 rib was changed to 15 rows of rib cuz my hand is not as long.

c. instead of ending with just one repeat of cable at the fingers, I length it to two repeats.

d. I did more rows on the thumb too to cover my thumb better... but i didn't count the rounds so i'll have to literally watch what i'm knitting on the right hand side when i'm knitting it tomorrow.

I think I shall make the right one before I frogg the original left one. E actually asked for a pair... it's a quick knit... i think i shall look thru my stash to see what colors she'd like... most likely some drab color like black or gray or brown...
