After knitting for what seemed like forever, here are Liidia's Gloves from Nancy Bush's Folk Knitting in Estonia. I used some vintage Nylamb yarn (a baby fingering weight yarn that was discontinued years ago) and size 0 dpns. I liked how you do the double wick decreases (i.e., decrease every row) with a different color yarn each row. I'll have to remember that because I like how it looks. I used a different 2-strand cast on for these instead of her braid cast on.

These gloves are going to be added to a pile of stuff to donate to the homeless shelter but first I hope to finish a pair of 6 color socks from Anna Zilboorg's Fancy Feet to include in the box. Tune in on Sunday to see if I manage to finish them in time.
