This weekend I went to visit Justin and gave him his finished Knucks. They fit his hands really well and I think he really likes them! He let me take pictures too! I am very happy with the size and the Rowan Felted Tweed is really nice! The only thing I would do differently next time is make the cuff a bit longer. I noticed it looked a little short on him as I saw him wearing them. I'm sure he'll wear these out, so I will just think about that for the next ones.
I am also glad I waited until yesterday to take these pictures, because, in these pictures, the gloves match almost every other article of clothing he has on. It's ok, I went to work today in head-to-toe FIRE ENGINE RED!! I feel like this is the first project I have finished in a really long time, so I am excited! And, in general, we had a really great weekend which involved an excessive amount of alcohol and pork products.
My BPT is still coming along really well! I pinched off the sleeves, and I am almost through the body enough to start the waist shaping. I have to remember to try it on several times to make sure I make the torso long enough, and the shaping happens in the right places. The sweater looks short on the model in the photo for the pattern, and I have a long torso anyway (that's what she said). I'll probably take more progress pictures towards the end of the week.
OMG PHILLY SO CLOSE!
