more handspun knitting
so them mittens? I ripped off the top of the shorter one at meetup last night, then realized I forgot my needles. Oops. Walked home not wearing my mittens! Maybe I will have time to fix them tonight.
I started a hat to match, and though I added up the numbers a zillion times (and finally came to a consensus- really, how hard is it to multiply? Why do I have such problems?) it seems small. Sure, I stretch it out, and it's 4 stitches per inch. So 88 stitches would give me 22 inches. Right? Right? 4 times 22 is 88, not 100. I hope! Anyhow, I'm now contemplating what to make of the rest of the yarn- I won't have enough left for a scarf (and no desire to knit another scarf, really)... maybe a neckwarmy thing? though I can't see me wearing a neckwarmy thing.
And haha.. the rest of the blog world is busy knitting stuff for others, and me? nope! Nothing. It's all me, all the time. I've even put aside the wedding afghan for the moment. I am spinning some more fuzz with a slight thought of stripey kiddie mittens, but no rush there.
In the meantime, we're off to Atlanta for a wedding this weekend. All the fiber shops I can find are over an hour away from any of our stops, or just look yarny. I for once don't need yarn. Boo.
