Alright, so it's another upcoming pattern - I've been working on the Pine Cone Gloves over on Twitch!  These, like the Cherry Blossom Hat, will be published with Knit Picks' IDP program, and I'm super excited about it! I've managed to finish the thumb gusset, and have only a little bit more before I split for the fingers!
someone wearing a glove in progress, knit in fingering-weight blue yarn. A stitch marker with a silver dolphin charm is clipped into the work.

Yarn here is Stitch Please Amethyst Label in "Cobalt" (actually, this yarn is leftovers of the Mosaic Hat!).  Sadly, it has a tendency to has a tendency to have several weak spots, but as I've worked further through the skein, it's had fewer problems, so, I really don't know what's going on there!  That said, I adore the colour,  and I'm really happy  with how the gloves are knitting up!  There will be a second sample in *Knit Picks Twill Fingering in "Patchwork Heather", thanks to the kind folks at Knit Picks who are providing yarn support - so, stay tuned for that as well!  (I've never worked with the Twill Fingering before, but the kind folks at Knit Picks suggested it; and I'm happy to have the chance to try it!)

Needles are 2 mm HyiaHyia needles - working with double-pointed needles makes working gloves easier, I find - though that might just be a personal preference, and you could absolutely make these with Magic Loop!  

And my beginning/end of round marker is a locking *Dolphin Stitch Marker from *NotionsEmporium - it  also functions as the side seam where the thumb gusset goes,  as well.
