I thought I would fall out of my chair the other day, when my bf mentioned that he would like a pair of hand-knit gloves. This is the first time he has actually requested anything. Of course I have no good glove patterns in any of my current books. I'm pretty sure something lovely and lacey wouldn't be suitable, at any rate.
Solution: I will be taking a trip to Borders (oh darn... not). I still have some money left on my gift card from Christmas and I wouldn't mind spending it on some more yarn porn. I just wish that there was a guy pattern book that didn't involve a million sweaters. I mean, men have other needs too, right? And way to not promote young knitters into foolishly purchasing your books and accidentally knitting the man in their lives a sweater, only to find themselves pawns in the hands of the sweater curse! Designers are cruel. ^^
Okay, I said that not completely buying into the whole curse thing. I would never knit bf a sweater, but that's just because I know he would never wear it. The guy tries to get away with wearing shorts into the winter season and tee shirts all year round. A winter coat to him equals his jean jacket. Hence my surprise at his request.
Agenda:
Find glove pattern
Finish knitting last i-cord for pm leggies
Finish knitting cellphone cozy to match pm leggies
Decide what mats you need for gloves
Watch No Reservations and possibly Becoming Jane (even though you disliked most of it in the theater)
