a man knitting!
Dave is sitting next to me on the couch, knitting up some lovely red yarn on size 5 Clover bamboos. As usual, he takes to anything new I try to teach him like a duck to water. You'd think this man had been knitting his whole life.
He wants a pair of Broad Street mittens, so he's learning to knit, since grad school for me starts, oh, now. We picked up some Cascade 220 superwash and some size 6 dpns, so once he gets the hang of this, I'm going to modify the pattern for him and get him started. I think I'm going to knit the articulated finger parts with some sock weight that I have and stitch it into the mittens so that he can just do the tubes and the mitten top and that way the finger parts won't be too bulky, either.
