I have been a knitting fool. I can't believe all I've done, but this is one of what I am most proud of. Knitty's broadstreet. I swear we had a kal going here, but I can't seem to find it or I would have posted this particular one there. I joined one at craftster though which helped me sweat through it (and with Theresa's help too, I'd die without you woman!).

So without further ado:

I used some great german sock yarn, 2 strands held together. I extended the cuff quite a bit & I'm glad I did. They are acutally finished now & I am really proud of myself. This is a project I've wanted to do, but had psyched myself out for a year now. The evening after I finished them I wore them to the locak Christmas market & a woman I had bought some table linens from commented on them right away. She asked me if I made them & she loved them. I was a peacock, needless to say.

Thanks for looking & letting me brag!

Nice. I want some like that. I am not there yet in my skills though.

Those are so cool!

You did such a great job! It's such a great feeling when other people notice the stuff you've made, to boot.

Now where is that bag over the head smiley? I was the organizer of that KAL, and I didn't even finish.

They look wonderful! How is the fit on them? I love that blue

Ah HA! I knew you'd come out of the woodwork, Marina. LOL As I remember it you were on the fence as to which pattern to use.

As everyone has said, broadstreet is just a little roomy through the palm, even on my big hands, but for me, they fit nice. I don't like tight fitting gloves/mittens anyway. I added quite a bit to the cuff & I'm REALLY glad I did that. I'm very happy with that.

Thanks for all your compliments!

Now, if I can find what I did with the pics of the other stuff I did over the holidays I'll post that too. Hmmmmmmmm
