So much for making promises to my self
What do you do if you have pretty much a WHOLE day to your self. A WHOLE rainy, damp Saturday that is.....
Yes, I pretty much stayed in my jammies, didn't shower until about 4PM. No kid around. Husband was around but he didn't bother me. I did take a break to eat.
So I started this mitten last Saturday. I am up to the thumb. Guess what? It's too small! GROAN................and sigh...............
I was doing so good too
I like the palm of this much more than the hand. My cuff and first couple of rows came out so good too.....
So what am I going to do? I am going to frog this, but I thought I should at least document my disaster. I am going to use a bigger needle and loosen up a bit.
I'm okay with this.

That mitten looks beautiful! Do you know any munchkins you can give it too? LOL. The colors look great.

Is the mitten too small for little geek? Or is that just a silly question? :) hee hee. I hope your second try works out perfectly.

Bye, Mitten! You were very cool looking...but you didn't play nicely. Maybe next time you will do what you are supposed to do.
For what it's worth, it came out great! The next model will be stunning.

Happy New Year! I love the pink...I've been trying to get in touch with my girly side these last few years (about time, being 45 and all). However, my own personal favorite combo w/ hot pink is orange! Can you stretch it out?

The mitten looks great! This fair isle thing is starting to call to me... I hope the second try on it works out to fit you right.
