I've got half a skein of Cascade Sock that I was hoping to knit into a pair of Kingdom gloves for myself ... but having finished the palm and started on the fingers on the right-hand glove, I find that the ball is smaller than I expected.
So I'm starting the left glove, and seeing how far I can get with it. If I run out of yarn before I can get both finished with all fingers, I'll rip them back and convert them into fingerless gloves.
I'm amused that Knitty has called this pattern 'extraspicy'. I enjoy the heck out of cabling, so I'm finding it a pretty easy pattern once I get past the short-rows and pick-up at the wrist; I also had to adjust severely because my wrist is a size Small and my knuckles as size Extra-Large by the pattern's measurements. There is almost nothing in this pattern that I haven't done for socks, so I'm wondering what the editors were thinking when they rated it so hard.

texasgrandma do you think Aunt B would like a set? If I can get her hand dimensions, I should be able to knit her a set.
