Last nite was Knit Nite at Tangled Web. It was good to see everyone, altho it was a very small group last nite. But it was nice and cozy, and I got to chat with my friends. Not much knitting last nite, I was restless I guess. I did a swatch for the project I have been procrastinating on. *sigh. and so I must reveal it to you b'c now I need help.Gigantic Hands Gloves. Doesn't the name just show you how much I want to procrastinate this? My uncle and his son have GIGANTIC HANDS. (Go ahead. snicker and guffaw, I'll wait. And yes, the son is single and 28 if you are interested.) The son was really sweet to me and gave me a turkey-like hand drawing so I can use that as a guide. After measuring I came up with a 10 inch diameter glove. THAT, my friends, is where I get stymied. No pattern I have looked at goes up to 10" diameter. And so these are my first pair of gloves, no previous mitten experience in my background, and I know that after I stop the ribbing at the cuff I need to go straight into the gusset. But how to estimate the numbers for the gusset have got me twiddling my thumbs and working on everything but this project. My swatch is 7 sts per inch. I figure 70 sts over the whole palm of the hand. But the gusset is making my mind reel! So please, feel free to drop me any helpful hints, mathematical equations, and ponderous theorems in the comments section. You can comment anonymously if you so feel the urge. I want to get these done.Other than that I have been thinking about my quilt. And thinking about my other holiday presents (mostly felted objects... gives another twist to UFO: unfinished felted objects are closer than they appear.) I want to get at least one felted hat and one none felted hat done before turkey day, and (hopefully) one glove to try on said GIGANTIC hand. Wish me luck folks.
