In a move so unlike the current state of "me," I actually followed the directions and came up with these: fingerless mittens for Em's birthday. And only a month late! Not bad...
Okay, well immediately after I typed the words above I remembered that I had not actually followed the directions (online pattern). The pattern called for size 6 double point needles and I only had size 5. So there were some stitches and rows to be added. It also recommended a heavier weight yarn which I did not have, so these were knitted with Bamboo Wool. They are super soft. LLSS didn't want to part with them and has put in a request for a pair of her own. That will really require some pattern altering. All in all, I don't feel too bad about this, my second ever knitting project. Happy birthday, Em!

Oh, these are so cute! Are you on Ravelry? This is Auntie JDog . . . and yes I'm commenting on your blog, instead of just lurking. :-)
Or Crafster? I love Craftster too, and you do a lot of sewing. I'm still wanting a sewing machine, but can't seem to come up with the bazillion dollars I will need to get a serger and a high-quality machine that can handle technical fabrics . . . Auntie JDOg again
