I’m back addicted to knitting. I got over it for a while because I felt so busy at work, and with work. Now, thought, I have promised my dad a pair of fingerless gloves so I better make good on that. I started that project Friday and have made good progress thus far. It’s a fun pattern. I also have recently become enamored of the idea of knitting myself socks. I keep getting the craft newsletters that feature socks and shawls and sweaters and things, and I find myself drooling over the sock ideas. I want to make myself tons of socks and maybe then some stockings or tights and then maybe a sweater and or skirt or sweaterdress or cardigan or pretty lacy shawl and then I can make more of the one I like and then I can make myself all new clothes and they’ll be so pretty and it’ll be so fun. . . send help.
ed. note: I spoke too soon. There’s something to do with the thumb webbing part, but while it tells me to add stitches for that, it doesn’t tell me where, or how. COME ON INTERNET HELP ME HERE.

Have you figured out how to cast on extra stitches yet? Usually at the thumb I just stick the needle in between a couple threads that are connected to the rest of the glove, and then wrap the yarn around it and pull through, thereby improvising that there had been a stitch there in the first place. This sometimes leaves holes, but when I am weaving in ends I fill all that in. Hope it helps!

thanks kaytay! It turns out that the pattern was merely informing me how many stitches ought to be at a certain point, as opposed to wanting me to add in 11 purl stitches in a row I had just finished.
