I'm glad you like it!! :) thanks! that’s exactly what I was going for– the cuff is stiffer than the hand portion but the ribbing allows it to stretch over your knuckles and then it stays put.

I'm pleasantly surprise by the way the wrist is knit differently from the palm; it makes the armwarmer look very structured and comfortable. I, for one, like feeling that my wrist is snugly covered by my gloves! Well done! Cute!!

I'm curious to see what you'll knit out of those. And the endpapers look great. You are right. I, too, am spending way too many time surfing on the net and blogging than I'm actually knitting or crafting anything else. The yarn you bought looks gorgeous!

As to why we Americans have had to put up with a barely adequate Amtrak, take a look at the post I put up yesterday. www.takeatrainride.blogspot.com It does seems that there is a pro-rail groundswell building, but we will have to get rid of Bush and his cronies before anything much can happen. His proposed budget cuts Amtrak's current level of funding by 40%, which is crazy, of course. Congress won't let that happen, but it's indicative of what Amtrak has had to deal with for the past 7+ years. Anyway, you're right on! Right!
