Ho HO Ho

My Knitting Guild is having our Christmas party right now. I am not there....obviously.
I really wanted to have that Pecan Crusted chicken, too. I paid for it. And it's at a lovely girly place, an old Victorian B&B.

But noooooo, I am sick.

Bah Humbug!



OK, enough griping. I do feel better than I did last night and missing a dinner isn't the end of the world.



I made my first pair of mittens. I did them both at once, like I do socks. Finished off the top of the first and it was just a wee bit too short, so I frogged it back to the colored section I had put in the middle of the mitten and just bound off. Picked up the stitches for the thumb and bound them off after a few rounds rather than making a full thumb. I will wear them on the paper route, since they are not as nice as I would like. I need to work on the parts near the thumb. It seemed like I had a hole as soon as I rejoined to work in the round (after putting the thumb stitches on waste yarn) and I do not like how I picked up stitches for the thumb. Not neat looking. Oh well, I figured as much, which is why I did them out of Encore and not the Cascade. Try, try again, but probably not until after Xmas.


Y'all stay well.
