Notes

For my dear friend Christin.

13/I/2013
All ends woven in at the SnB. 2nd picture was also taken there ;)

11/I/2013
Finished the second mitten yesterday in the late evening. I think it is a tad longer than the other, but that may be gone after blocking.
I still need to weave in the ends and take pictures, maybe with me wearing them?
All in all a good pattern, easy to follow, clearly written and a good introduction into cables.

I’m already past the thumb gusset, so yeah! progress. I’m kinda worried because I think I didn’t stuck to the pattern, knitting more rounds than indicated… Hmm, I’ll see. Next thing is to figure out if I get the additional repeat right. My notes on that are quite… short.

06/I/2013
Started second mitten yesterday. It is not as awful as I imagined, mainly because it’s already the third. Also I’m making progress really fast, which is helping a lot.

27/XII/2012
I finished the first fitting (!!!) mitten. Cranked the hand part out while watching TV in the afternoon. And I even remember what I watched!
Now the second will be a pain in the ass, even though I know I can do it…
I had to add one pattern repeat of the mitten top to lengthen it.

16/XII/2012
It’s too small :’( I not only made it too tight, but also the hand part too short.
So I will have knit 3 mittens total.
Next try on 4.5 mm needles.

15/XII/2012
I’m officially hooked on cables. They are easier than expected and lots of fun to make!
Christin was showed the mittens and so far, she is satisfied. Good, good.

3/XII/2012
Started today. My cable is too short (60 cm / 24’’), so I may need a longer one. I also have to knit one at a time because two mitts do not fit on the cable. As son as I have a longer cable, I will make them two at a time.
