Started this last night after the baseball game was over, and got to the end of Step 6 and discovered I picked up the edge stitches for the three-needle bind off the wrong way, so I’ll tink back to that.

I’m using 2 skeins of the Kroy to match the pattern, so I’ll probably have enough to make another pair of of these two balls since the pattern only calls for 35g. I’ll have to see after I’m done with the first one.

This is NOT a mindless pattern! lol Pay attention!

Mitt #1 is done! I had to re-do the 11 st three-needle bind off 4 times before I finally got it. Sheesh. Never graphed garter stitch before, but if I didn’t know where the seam was, I wouldn’t be able to find it.

Mitt #2 is coming along - cast it on on 4/15 and worked on it a little before falling asleep during the Card/Brewers baseball game. Did the curve and started the short rows during the Blues/Jets hockey game (sigh) and am on the garter st extensions. With any luck it’ll be done during the replay of the baseball game on Wednesday.

No work on mitt tonight. Sleep.

ETA: Worked on it anyway, BLUES WON! AAAAAHHH! Finished garter rows, needs to be grafted and ends secured.

Done! Will take pictures when I deliver - hard to take pics of own hands.
