Winter's last FOs
Last weekend I could sneak a little time to knit, and I actually finished my gloves:
Though, winter is now ending and yesterday and today, Tokyo is very warm and many, many people including me have gotten hey fever, it's the season. What I want to say is, no point to try these gloves now. I am just relieved that I anyhow finished this. I like my gloves perfectly fit, so I made this that way, but I am not sure if I would keep this for myself for next winter, or just I might give it away to someone one day....
Also the last weekend I finally set the sleeves to the sweater which has been long left, forgotten and found unfinished.
To my surprise, this shoulder looks very square, like the one of jacket. I made these sleeves short intensionally, it is very comvenient, but it is also too winter-ish sweater for now. The yarn is quite thick and heavy.
AFter that, this week until today I have not been knitting more than two or three rows, since my baby has gotten a cold AGAIN and I cannot sleep well at night. Ugh...

The glove and sweater both look great ! I think it is good idea to make the sleeve shorter, It is very warm when you stay indoor (I can'ty get use to it when I was in Japan) but outside is very cold in winter. So, it is good to have short sleeve sweater (I have one too !)

Thanks for your comments! I am just sorry for not having the time to wear it anymore this winter...
