It's tricky to take a good picture of one's own knitting hands |
|
I was running out of tv to watch while knitting. |
|
Hookiform clover cable needle used for 6-row, 6-stitch, backtwist cable. |
|
Roughly halfway. |
|
Just about ready to bind off. |
|
Like all gloves I knit, it's a little short. |
|
I think placing the increases and decreases differently will help the fabric sit better on the palm. |
|
The cables match up nicely...other than the glaring error at the base of the cable on the left glove. |
