TWO!! ha,.. ha ... ha!

I'm not the count from Sesame street, but I am chuffed with myself for managing to go two solid months posting every day. I am certainly not going to pretend that I'm posting much, but I'm posting often and that's better than can be said for the previous months.

Also, I made a mitten. It's got a thumb that is too short for its intended recipient and a fingertip-tip that is too pointy for its intended recipient, but I think that it's good enough to eventually be joined by another one. It was airplane knitting on that second journey.

It's a mitten with fingers. It's one of those glove-like things. Hard to describe (shoulda taken a picture, huh?). It's a fingerless glove only with a little pocket that flips over the fingerless fingers to make it into a closed mitten. Yes?

I don't mind the added fooferah of the fingers as much as I thought I would. Looking at the photographs in the pattern before starting, it really seemed as though I would be fussing with knitting little tubes for ages. However, the actual doing was nothing like that bad. It's only a few rows per finger and (of course) they whip by because there are relatively few stitches on the needles.
