Knitting Update

Working on the thumb on the second one – the end is in sight!

I finished the first mitt quite successfully. And then, I think I must have been a bit too confident because the second one has not gone smoothly. At all.  I almost got to the point where you put the thumb stitches on waste yarn and it all went pear-shaped – unravel, start again. The second time around I started on the thumb gusset only to release I was four rounds short – needless to say I’m pretty sure my cables aren’t going to match.

Now I have to decide if it’s worth having another go (a whole new pair) or just cut my losses and move on. My plan is to wait and see if I wear them and if I do wear them, to make another pair.

I really want to knit something bigger – something like this

I have been making the effort to do a little bit each day – currently I am at 30 mins, but hoping to increase that (maybe more than one session?)
