Pushing On

At Knit Night last week, I started my first pair of fingerless gloves. Me and my knitting buddy are doing a knit-along with the pattern....and thank goodness! The pattern is far outside my knitting capabilities!

In fact, on one part of the pattern, the stitch is so difficult that - after hours of trying to get it to work - I busted out the crochet hook and did an entire row with it. Much easier! I like pushing myself with new knitting techniques but I'm hoping the hardest part of the pattern is over..... But, wait! I still have the thumb to go! Eeek! And another glove!

Wish me luck. The yarn is so tiny and I'm constantly afraid I'm going to break my awesome wooden needles... But I'm determined to persevere and make it work!
