I just can't stop
I know I said I wanted to finish the embroidery piece, or at least get a good chunk more work into it, before I finished the mittens, but it's getting cold here and I started wanting something on my hands, and worrying about how long it would be before I had something!
So I spent pretty much all day yesterday knitting the second mitten. Yesterday morning I had 2" of ribbing and now I have this:
It's at the point where I can start decreasing, and then the thumb and finishing should go pretty quickly! I never thought I would be one of those knitters who can throw together a project like this, but I guess all the practice has paid off. It also probably helps that I'm knitting at 5 sts to the inch. I think I need to make at least a dozen more projects on big needles with big yarn before I try going back to tiny needles again. These have gone so fast that I actually think a sweater might be in my knitting future, something I never would have said before.
