So much for that.

I gave up. After only one round, I could tell that the mitt was going to be waaayyyy to big for petite Bev. So I frogged that one, too.

A big part of the problem is that I'm trying to use Knitpicks Gloss in black. Black. I cannot see the stitches when I'm unknitting, and one tiny mistake just ruins the pattern. I wanted to use a lighter, neutral color, but I don't have any sock yarn that is light enough, or neutral enough.

So much for mitts for Bev. I quit.

Okay, so right now you aren't knitting them. Maybe you'll want to in a few years. NO SHAMING oneself for such a valiant goal! Im proud to know ya!

Yeah, not the easiest task! At least you had good intentions, which in my books, counts for something!

Problem is, I have way too many good intentions! But thanks for the backup!

Oh don't give up! Try different yarn or something

I don't have the right sock yarn, just black, and I can't see it well enough to keep track of the pattern. I have only one hank of caramel Gloss; I don't think that's enough. That's what I was going to use, but I was worried that I'd run out.

I'll try again later!
