&@)%_+#! Pomatomus gauntlets

Now I have another idea, something I probably should have done from the beginning of the Pomatomus fingerless gloves. Since I've never knit any kind of glove or gauntlet before and I'm worried about the thumb gusset, etc., and since I'm having so much trouble with Pomatomus, I think I will just make myself a pair of gauntlets in a much easier pattern (but still something fun) so when I get to the harder parts of the P gauntlets, it won't be the first time I'm doing a thumb gusset or fingers. Maybe this will help. Plus, it's nasty cold here right now and I wouldn't mind extra warmth for my wrists and hands while I'm typing (for a living) or knitting (for a reason to go on living - just kidding, sort of).

Meanwhile, I'm quite eagerly awaiting being given partners for the two swaps I've signed up for: the Hogwarts sock swap 3 and the Bag-a-licious swap. I can't wait to get started!

As far as HSS3 goes, I'm personally a Ravenclaw but I'd be excited to put together a kit for a student in any other house. I might call on some of my past beading skills and make some stitch markers instead of buying some, especially if I have the right color beads. For Bag-a-licious, I might make the Harlequin bag, unless my swap partner wants something else, of course.

Now, where's that camera cable so I can upload some pictures?
