I feel like I'm making a dent

Despite the fact that this little project only took 1 skein and a few inches of leftover yarn from another project, I feel like I'm getting control over the stash.  This is, of course, ridiculous because I still have balls and balls of yarn left behind.  It just feels good to get a couple of things done.  The sock of the month is taking forever and I'll be lucky if I get one done by the 2 month deadline which is the end of March.  So getting this small project out of the way feels like progress.

This is a great little knit.  The finished project is very cute and Debbie Bliss Cashmerino Aran is a very nice, soft, comfortable yarn.  I wanted to make my second pair of fingerless gloves before the spring.  I have lost one of the first pair somewhere, hopefully in the house to be located on a hot July day.  I wanted to make sure I had a replacement pair for the Go Train platform this spring.  I combined making these with a marathon viewing of the BBC/Colin Firth version of Pride and Prejudice, my favourite movie of all time and worth a viewing every year or two while getting a nice project finished.
