elizabeth_mnI knitted the thumb and wove in all the ends yesterday, which took a surprisingly short amount of time. (Surprising because I am usually slower.)
For the thumb, I decreased every row, without a row of plain knitting in between, for two rows, once I got to the decrease point, just like I did for the top of the hand. I was worried about not having enough yarn for the 2nd one, but I weighed the completed mitten and the remaining yarn on my postal scale and it seems like it will be fine.
Today I want to:
Cast on the 2nd mitten
Knit 10 more rows of sweater border
mend clothes
sew the fly zipper on the corduroys I'm making for the man
sew a new liner for my towel hamper
I'd better get moving!
