It's talk like a pirate day

so hopefully y'all can decipher this:

I forgot about these Cafe du Monde gloves fer a wee bit. I started them on th' way t' hawaii. 't be funny on accoun' o' when th' guy next t' me sailed' t' sleep I be workin' th' lace cuff an' then when he woke up be surprised I didna be havin' more finished. He spake after five hours, I ortin' ta be havin' a sweater done. Ha! This be how much I accomplished on th' way t' Hawaii. That one brown row be a lifeline...th' cuff gave me some grief an' I didna want t' be havin' t' start that again!


And here be th' finished starboard glove before addin' ribbon trim t' th' cuff. I be nay sure what happened wi' th' fingers...I got three finished before I reckoned th' center motif on th' aft o' th' hand be off center. Since I did th' first two fingers on th' way aft from Orlando, I be thinkin' me sock mojo interefered wi' me glove mojo somehow. But off center or nay, I still think these be awesome. They be fulfillin' me wee gauge needs. I be waitin' on a size two circ from KnitPicks t' work on th' Dale o' Norway toddler dress.

If ye be interested in talkin' like a buccanneer, here`s how...

Oooh, I like these. After knitting Matt's Dashing Gloves, I've been craving some longer fingerless gloves for myself. These might fit the bill! I like the lace.
