Notes

Heavily modified due to need for creative expression.

09-06-2015

CO 40 today, working with smaller needle. Ribbing is 2x2 for cuff.

09-10-2015

Decided to do a cable, after ripping back at least 3 times. Was at decreases when last ripped back to re-do the cable.

10-20-2015

Mitts are done, but modified to be fingerless. The cables begin the same row as the afterthought thumb hole is placed. Then 5 rows of ribbing at the end, and for the thumbhole.

Gave to my aunt. Just before Christmas she asked if I could make her a pair of fingerless mittens! She loved these so to her they went!
