There's not much to show you as far as current projects go (working on some stealth knitting that can't be shared), though I hope to have something by the end of the week. So in the meantime, and since I was so bad about keeping the blog up to date over the last year and more, I will fill in with things that may not be new but are at least new blog fodder.This summer Meital asked me to knit her a pair of fingerless gloves featuring the rap group D12. She is a big fan of rap and especially of Eminem. She gave me very specific instructions for the design of the gloves, particularly the placement of the names of the group members, and even charted out the logo herself. I worked on them over the summer and got them done, as requested, in time for the first day of school (September 1).
Why anyone would want to wear wool on their hands in 90 degree weather is beyond me, but then it's been a while since I was 14...
It was a fun, challenging, frustrating, character-building kind of a project, and I am eternally grateful that they are finished (and that Meital is delighted with them).

Love how you did that Old English like D on the gloves. You should send of pic of that to Enimem's website!
Fantastic! I see a collaboration for a knitting book between you and your daughter in the future that incorporates both of your talents. :>)
