Well my mom asked me To make her some gauntlets (fingerless gloves) for a Christmas presen just days before Christmas. Now days later I am still working on something that would normally have taken me just a few hours. Well first I ran out of yarn, then I couldn't find that yarn so I had to buy a different one, now I must start over because the new yarn is a completely different shade of brown. Then I started some slippers as an added gift for her in the downtime of my quest to find the brown yarn. Now I have ran out of the slippers yarn as well just inches before the completion of the second sock! I am not having a good project week. But anyway here's a ravelry link to the gauntlet pattern http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/chunky-arm-warmers
