Help me please o thee who are better at knitting than me

I have a pattern (the Hermione Hearts Ron fingerless gloves by Valéries Corner on Ravelry) and the instructions for the right glove are just "make to match left"

I'm a beginner, I need hand holding, someone please help

Finishing touches. A burr oak reel seat going on to a 7ft 4wt Superfast cane rod.

Some weeks start better than others. The joys of working with burrs....

I just saved a dropped knit stitch that was running with my crochet hook and therefore saved a big project. I feel like now I can call myself a real knitter

Fitting my Huggle, knit in a fit of anxiety over the office cat that we had to leave indoors because we had tornado warnings in an area where there have never been tornadoes (the Huggle pattern is from Make and Do Crew and it is definitely not finished yet)

And the Christmas rush begins

Day one of the South African lockdown:

- I have cast on the owl cardigan from Knitting Wizardry. I don't have enough yarn to finish it in one colour, so I'm going to make it multicoloured as my "corona cardigan"

- I went on a binge downloading fairytale retelling ebooks and am now considering making a side blog for books

- I have walked into three smoke clouds from a family member smoking at home

- I have downloaded more crochet patterns for afghan squares than I have the yarn or time to make

- I made bread (it wasn't amazing, but it wasn't terrible)

- I spilled boiling water down my front

So this lockdown should be fun!
