It's painful to put in so much work and have an unusable product. I would agree with you though that knitting gloves flat and having all those finger seams is really not worth it. Go for in-the-round ones if you can.<BR/><BR/>I have to say that sometimes the bargain sock yarns wear better with less pilling than the fancy, pricier ones. Wouldn't it be great if you've lucked into a really good, affordable one? I love all the colours in your new sock yarn stash.
