Small Distraction

Posted on | January 11, 2009 | 3 Comments

For Christmas, I had decided at the last minute to make my Stepmom a pair of fetching mitts from some leftover Lanas Puras Melosa from my Urban Wrap. So I started the 1st mitt before traveling home to NJ on Dec 22nd. When I got home, I realized I had misplaced 2 of the needles. Argh! Luckily I had some Denise #5′s that I made due with and finished the 1st one.

Then I ran out of yarn.

Ok, so obvious this project was just not meant to be finished by Christmas. So I gifted the one and promised the other would be on it’s way soon. And here it is:

And this was how much yarn was left. I just made it!

Fast, easy project with great results. If only everything would have cooperated as well as the knitting!

    Living on the edge, Melissa! ;) Beautiful product though. And your stepmom didn’t have to wait long for Fetching’s mate.

    What a gorgeous color. She must love them! Also, don’t knock selfish knitting — it’s absolutely necessary ;-)
