Welcome back to  WIP Wednesday,  and the current Project is still the Pine Cone Gloves!  Some knitting over on Twitch (as well as when watching Netflix in the evenings) has gotten the second glove to over half-way done!

Yarn is *Knit Picks Twill Fingering in "Patchwork Heather", sent to me by the amazing folks at Knit Picks as Yarn Support!  Still can't say enough good stuff about this yarn!  It got a teeny bit tangled at the end of the first ball (this is what I get for pulling from the inside of the donut, I think?  But that's been my only issue with it.  It shows the stitch pattern really well (which was my other concern); and yeah, I quite like it!
a knit glove in progress. The pinky finger is finished, and the ring-finger stitches are on double-pointed needles, while the remaining stitches are held on scrap yarn.

Needles are 2mm (US 0) Hiya Hiya double-pointed needles. This is one of the few points where I'd strongly recommend double-points.  You can magic loop the fingers of the glove, but, (at least for me), it would be really fiddly.  That said, if you can make magic loop work on super-small circumferences (I struggle with it!), then yeah, go for it! 

Stitch marker is a  *Dolphin Stitch Marker from *NotionsEmporium,  though honestly, I could probably put it away, now. Since I'm only working on two needles for the fingers, I can see when the beginning/end of round is for each finger, as one needle has a few more stitches then the other needle. 

I'm actually quite surprised at how quickly these gloves knit up when I can dedicate some  time to them. I hope you folks are finding the same with your own crafting!
