Actually I have a couple of things that are good news. My last post was
my 100th post on this blog! I saw it after I posted and was quite
surprised by that. Ok what do I get? Free yarn? A knitting book? Oh I
just get to post another hundred or more if I so choose. Ok life goes
on.
Good news - I finished the biking mitts I was making for Bean!
Here
they are on Patrick's hands. Patrick is 11 years old, five feet tall
and weighs ninety pounds. They barely fit him. See the stretching at
the thumb? Now the bad news - no way will they fit anyone other than
Patrick. I'll have to find another pattern or just make these with more
stitches on a bigger needle. I really enjoyed making these I have to
say. As you can see it was easy ribbing and stockinette stitch. I may
just redo these with a couple of modifications and be done with it.
I
don't know if you remember but a while ago I made a pair of mitts for a
lovely lady I met on a social website. She wanted to pay me but I
refused payment. I'm now making her twin girls each a set of the hand
warmers because they liked them so much. She wants to pay me but I
really don't want to take money from her. I know she makes jewelry so I
asked her to make me a set of stitch markers if she could, if not it's
not a big deal. Well....lookit these!
How cute are those??? They're in the mail right now and should be here any day. You can find her stuff here
if you're interested. I don't know if she has stitch markers yet but I
know she's making some and I know she has some lovely jewelry listed
there.
