Properly practiced, knitting soothes the troubled spirit, and it doesn't hurt the untroubled spirit either.
When I say properly practiced, I mean executed in a relaxed manner, without anxiety, strain, or tension, but with confidence, inventiveness, pleasure, and ultimate pride....
Loose knitting tends to make your stitches look more uneven, but what of it? Are you trying to reproduce a boughten machine-made sweater?

It is beautiful!! Nice job! And I love the photo (below) against the pine needles. Very nice.
Did you adapt the pattern for fingerless mitts, from Knitty? Looks great as a glove - very nice work.
Hi Shirleyknits,
Yes, I adapted the pattern from the fingerless gloves in Knitty. I used The Knitter's Handy Book of Patterns to make the gusset and fingers.
