After finishing glove number one in a day, I've slowed down the pace a bit. Glove number two (now being knit directly from the unfinished clapotis!) only needs three more fingers. I don't think I could have made it through ten fingers at a "real" glove gauge, but with this worsted weight yarn, it's been just fine. I'm surprised to find how much I'm enjoying it. And I'm definitely looking forward to wearing new gloves this weekend.

While I was making hands, I got the boys to use their hands to make Christmas cards. (It's pretty late for Christmas cards, but we haven't managed to get ANY cards out for years, so I'm counting this as a huge success!)

I found a fun make-your-own-cards kit from made by hands, complete with blank cards, hundreds of punch out shapes and glue stick. The boys had a blast! They were very creative, making all sorts of snow scenes and Christmas trees. I made the little footprints card for wee one, since pop-outs and glue are a little too difficult for her. But she won't be left out of the fun - she and I will be making a few more cards with a sticker card kit from mudpuppy.com later today.
