Welcome back to WIP Wed, . . . and the Christmas Gloves aren't quite done yet. I mean, that does seem to be the way of gift-knitting, doesn't it? It's very often belated!
I gave my gift-ee the first finished glove, only to find out that it didn't quite fit right at the hand. So, I'll be finishing the second to my gift-ee's hand measurements, and then ripping back and re-doing the first glove. I got a good bit finished at yesterdays Knit Night (every Tues night), and am hoping to get some more done today.
The gloves are mirrored, like many of my mitten/glove designs are. And I almost knit two right-hand gloves, but, not quite, thank goodness!
Yarn is the now-discontinued Fleece Artist Merino 2/6 in "Spruce". It's 100% Merino, and it's knitting up quite nice and dense on *2mm (US 0) needles. I wish the pooling on the fingers had happened differently, but, hey, you can't have everything, right?
Is anyone else still working on belated gifts? Let me know in the comments and we can wish each other luck!

The *DPN Case is from *SewSandySew's Etsy Shop, and it's proving it's worth as I took these to knit night -- no more needles poking through my project bags! Yeay!
