Obviously, I'm not going to run out of bad jokes. This is Annemor #16. They'll be mittens, not gloves. I found some Lana Grossa Lambswool that I bought a few years ago and decided to use it finally. This yarn is a little heavier than the Palette, and definitely heavier than the Fearless Fibers sock yarn I used on Annemor #15- so I'm getting the proper gauge this time. The yarn is very nice, though it's extremely *springy* and it wants to curl up on itself a bit (not the knitted fabric, just the yarn).
My brain has a hard time translating the chart when the dark and light colors are reversed (with the raspberry for the light squares and peach for the dark), but it's coming easier now and I'm not having to rip as often. I could just enter the chart into my Cross Stitch program in the proper colors, but I'm too lazy to do that.
This is a really lovely pattern.

Wow Kathleen, your posts are so inspiring! I have only made one pair of mittens like this in my life, but seeing all your different patterns and color combinations may just make me go back and dig out my pattern books again....
They're addictive, that's for sure.
As I look over my finished mittens/gloves, I can definitely see that I'm drawn to orange/peach. Half of the ones I've knitted so far have one or the other color. I think I need to expand my stash just a bit... heh...
