Notes

4th Jan - made rib with 3.5 needles

6th Jan - changed to needles 4, started the cables and the mitts look suspiciously small. Frogged. Ugh!

9th Jan - started them again. This time with double strand. And frogged again :-/

10th Jan - another trial. Smaller needles, more stitches. Hope it works. CO 48 sts. Froggen again - rib’s too loose. I’m starting to hate them. :-/
CO 40 again and after the rib (18 rows) inc 4 sts. Decided to add one more cable pattern.

18th Jan - still knitting them, but this time w/o frogging. When adding the sts for thumb I inc 8 times. Everything seems to be fine :-)

28th Jan - Czarlota got the mitts. They fit perfectly. Jeepee!
