I keep being amazed at how quickly these knit up, but I guess knitting on 3s instead of 1s really does make a difference. (The stranding definitely helps too.) I've loosened my gauge up a bit for this second glove, which is good. They'll both still benefit from a blocking, but the first seemed a little overly stretched in places and I think this one is just more even over all.
I'm a little worried about running out of the brown, since the directions called to finish the hand 1 inch BELOW where your knuckles start. This is clearly crazy, and I knit up several inches past my knuckles. It may just mean I have to do the thumbs in teal, and that might be pretty awesome, so I'm not too worried.
I realized I never showed off these quick mitts. They're one of the very first patterns heb and I got as a companion to our yarn membership, and I've been wanting to make a pair for a couple of years. When heb wanted to get rid of this lovely shade of pink (I know, I'm horrified too you guys), I knew just who would appreciate it. These were fun, a quick waffle rib on the wrist and pretty easy cables along the hands. I had to decrease the total number of stitches to account for my loose knitting, which worked out totally fine. However, I forgot to do the same for the thumb, so they ended up being all huge. I did some k2togs to take them in a bit, but that turned out a little weird as well. They're recipient claims she likes 'em though, so I think it worked out ok.
A week's vacation let me finish the yoke on this sweater. Now if only I could get my act together to graft the underarms, sew in the ends, and block! (I have a few flights later this month and plan on only bringing this along so I can force myself to do so. Someone on this blog suggested that strategy to me once, and it has served me well since. Unfortunately, the timing of these flights may mean that I'm not awake for much of them.) 
Before blocking, I think it looks way prettier inside out, without all that distracting puckering. Will post details when it's actually wearable!
