Notes

I want to try and get in one last project before Mal March starts. I hope I can get the hang of fair isle!

--Shortened mitt by 7 rows with the help of Knittypleasure!
--Kitchener top closed instead of cinching it shut on the right mitt. Cinched closed on the left (as I had another knitter do the left mitt). :-)

03/12/13 - DONE, DONE, DONE! Thanks to my friend, Helen! I could not do this stranding on magic loop and I don’t do DPNs. I traded her for some stuff. She finished it in hours! I love ‘em!! So soft and squishy!

02/22/13 - One down! I love how bulky and cushy this mitt is. The yarn is really soft. I love the end result…but I can’t say that I really enjoyed knitting the mitten itself. It’s not the pattern, it’s just that I don’t like stranding in magic loop and I have never been able to do double points. I so badly want the second mitten but I think I’m gonna see if I can trade the knitting of this second mitten for some yarn. :-)

02/20/13 - This how far I got in one night. I only ripped it out and started over twice. :-)
