OK, I am almost finished with this mitten. I had it at school and one of the girls decided to try it on.....Well, it was so tight on her hand, I was ready to cry!!!! Who was this pattern written for anyway? Let me go back to revelry and check. Must be a 4 year old! I have it on my hand, but my bones HURT!!!
So, I am waiting for the daughter to return with boyfriend and sushi for mom, to try on the mitten, before I finish the thumb. Now, daughter is tiny little thing for 19.... but I don't know. Updates to follow.
The pattern was OK to do. I am going to probably up to a size five needle. That's just an FYI if you
plan on making them. I am making three now, instead of the two I need.On a happy note....Hubby's socks are moving along nicely. This sock is near completion. This is just boring, knitting. Take with you anywhere knitting. No need to look at knitting.
What else?
The Pittsburgh Knit and Crochet show is on its way. OK, am I the only one who thinks that $15.00 is EXTREMELY expensive to walk around a market? I mean, Giant eagle never chargers me to come in and BUY from them. Does the Guild realize we are in a terrible recession and people are not doing great? I mean even the early registration of 10.00 is high! I am Going to BUY from vender's. YOU are not giving me anything.
That's 15 bucks of yarn I could use..... I don't know, maybe its me. But I am sure the vendors have dropped a big chunk of change too. I think, in my never to be humble opinion, that it is too much money..... Will I go, probably. Not fair though. What say you?
Well, Daughter should be home soon. Want to look like I was knitting while they were gone. So its off to knitting....
Oh yea, there is yet another snow storm coming, and its going to be a doozy....We will see
GO STEELERS!!!!

15 bucks just to walk around the vendors? Are they smoking something?
Here's hoping the mittens fit your daughter! Gauge lies, doesn't it??
It's too high. I went once (2 years ago) and there were no vendors of any note that I couldn't find at MDS&W. I don't plan to go at all.
I went once, and it wasn't even $15 then. Obviously it is nice to touch and feel, but with the internet and other festivals, $15 admission saves me a lot more than the 15 bucks I won't spend to go... I guess if they had a class or something included, I might feel different.
and in shared knitting frustration, I just realized that I forgot to switch to larger needles after the cuff on my son's sweater sleeve, and I am wondering if I can switch now and keep going... just make the other to match? urgh.
