I have some great (inherited from mom) Noro Kureyon in black/grey. I've been wanting to make the Urban Rustic Gloves from Knitty.

I did a gauge swatch and was very happy that it was perfect, by stitches and rows.

So why does my first glove look like an alien?

I messed up a little on the short rows (did not anchor the yo properly), but even now that I get my mistake, I'm not sure it makes up for it. Has anyone done them and can provide guidance?

What the frig? Every time I try to do something to my blog (post, change the sidebar, look at it) something crashes or gets erased.

I'm just not going to upload my pic of Phil's finished sweater again. I'm starting to feel superstitious about it.
