04.30.13 - Duplicate embroidery finished. I really don’t like to do duplicate embroidery. It definitely lowered the enjoyment of the whole project. However
Now that the entire mitten is released as a pattern, rather than knitting it by weekly clues, I’d just do three color knitting. I’d really like the knitting of these then!

I never did reach the 11 stitches per inch gauge. I got 8.5 inches per inch, using 1.75mm needles. These will fit my hands with a bit of looseness. 11 stitches per inch would have been too tight on my larger hands.

04.13.13 - finished clue two. I’ve become accustomed to the tight knitting. Even enjoying it?

04.03.13 - started a second mitten using 1.75mm needles. The gauge is better, but the knitting is rather uncomfortable.

04.02.13 - My gauge is off. 8 stitches per inch. I need them a bit larger than the pattern calls for, but not this much larger. I’m not sure I’m prepared to go down to a size 0 needle. Tomorrow I’ll try again and remove one motif to get a smaller stitch count.
