Knitted Fingerless Gloves (Magic Loop Method)


Knitted Fingerless Gloves (Magic Loop Method)

 Knitted Fingerless Gloves (Magic Loop Method) 

Needle Size: US 6 (4 mm) Addi Turbo Circular Needles (29 inches)
Yarn Weight: Worsted / 10 ply ( 9 wpi )

This was knitted using the Magic Loop Method, which I prefer over double pointed needles any day. I was originally knitting gloves for the husband, but it was too small, so now they are mine. :)

I actually finished this last week, but I never got around to taking pictures. This project took me longer than planned due to my friend, procrastination, visiting. But if I really focused, I could definitely knit a pair of gloves in a couple of hours. Right now, in addition to other projects and orders, I am currently working on another pair for him. Hopefully, going up a needle size would work fit/size-wise. We shall see, I guess...

West Point, NY

On August 11, my sisters, mom, and I took my aunt to West Point, NY. She has never been there, and she had always wanted to visit. I forget how beautiful this place is. The picture, honestly, does not do it justice. Plus, I wasn't able to take pictures of everything.

There's really not much to blog about. We just drove around, walked around, and took pictures... So on to the photo dump. :)

The 52 Week Money Challenge (Weeks 3 & 4 Update)

Week 03 - July 26, 2013
Week 04 - August 02, 2013

Current Savings : $10

(Image courtesy of: www.savingeveryday.net) - I'm just adding the red check marks as I go along.

I have been reading blogs and articles on this challenge to stay motivated, and I have come across people who are not big fans. I understand that this is not the best way to save money. I am not in it for that. I like the challenge (hence the name). The savings is just an added bonus. I like that it starts off small, "painless" to someone who has never really... saved "regularly." Of course, it gets harder the more you have to put in. I want to see if I can do it, or how far I can go. I know that there will be times when I will want to pull my hair out (Hello holiday season, and weeks I have to give $40+, which amounts to at least $160 a month!), but I have every intention of finishing this challenge.

With that said, good luck to myself and to everyone else doing this with me!

xx,
Pamela

P.S. - Please check out my sister's blog (Phoebe Jan), she is doing this challenge with me. :)
