Here's what I learned on this project:
1) Fingerless gloves are a much more useful item than I originally thought.
2) Viscose is slippery and tends to stretch, so knit it VERY SMALL
3) Mirror-imaging your cables rocks.

FOs 2006
While I suppose that technically I should be posting these things as I finish them, it's only fair that I get to show some knitting. I'll be adding some photos of previous knitting as I get pictures. My first FO for this year (the knitting year beginning in the fall, that is) is a pair of fingerless gloves for me. I used no pattern--just swatched and measured. The yarn is the (now discontinued) classic elite studio, a viscose-linen blend.
