Last December I started on a pair of gloves for myself.





I finished them in early January. While I really loved them, I was irked the entire winter by the fact that the fingers were too long. I made them from the finger tips down, and didn't quite account for some of the space that would be added by joining them together.



Last week when it got really cold and I went searching for my winter gear, I found the gloves and got excited because I had forgotten about them. Then I was annoyed because I put them on and rediscovered that they are too big. While they are too big all around, it is really the too long in the fingers that make them annoying.



I decided to fix that. I had thought about it last year, but with the whole arm issue (side note: I can't believe that in just over a month it will have been a year since I dislocated my elbow. I occasionally get twinges, but there have been no long lasting issues.) I didn't have the dexterity to do it. I am fixing them now. And it isn't even taking very long to do!



The hardest part is unraveling the sewn together cast-on tip. First I have to free up the tail. Then I figure out where I want to end the finger and carefully insert my circulars through the existing stitches. Then I slowly unpick the cast-on, and unravel to the needles. A quick knit 2 together all the way around, and then I can pull the yarn through the stitches and viola, fixed!! That makes me happy!
