...but I've finally finished one of the two mittens that I'd planned to have finished by Friday. The likelihood of that happening is slim at best. It looks a bit like one of these so far--haven't added the mouth, fins, eyes, etc. and didn't get a chance to take a picture, so I just pulled this one off the internet. I was having a bit of trouble transferring the stitches onto the holder and re-CingO stitches onto the dpn. Also, I abandoned the Kitchener stitch halfway through and decided that it would be a better idea--for the sake of my sanity--to just thread some spare yarn through the remaining stitches and seam them together. All together, I'm exceedingly impressed with myself. Having undergone the rite of passage of creating a mitten, I can now call myself an advanced knitter.
