mittens! I've up and joined a knitalong, after missing out on the fun of socktober!

somehow, mittens are more manageable for me, in spite of the fact that thumbs are annoying! maybe it's the fact that I've been knitting them on size 9/10 needles?! ;)

first order of business is deciding which yarn to use. or spin some new yarn? I'm swimming in soft lovely roving still...

second? finish these already. I was working drunkenly on a thumb at the hotel at rhinebeck, and it wasn't going well!

haha... instead I drunkenly knit on one of these. I'm ignoring all the times I kept increasing when I shouldn't have. *design features*... hard to see in it's current squid shape anyhow. I am, however, starting to think there is a fatal flaw in whatever I did at the beginning. hmmmm. something is off (aside from the double increases!) Ack!

okay, moral is, don't knit with more than 2 or 3 beers. you won't notice it for WEEKS, but it will throw you off.

this weekend, there will be sun. and pictures! and more dyeing, since the dye in my cuticles is finally wearing off...  ¶ 17:04
