So, fingerless mittens. What a concept eh? The thing is, I'm always cold at work, but I still need to be able to type. I keep an old pair of gloves that have the fingers cut off in my desk drawer, but I wanted something a little more customized. Something a little more colourful. (The cut-offs are black). Something home-made.
These fingerless mittens have been showing up all over Pinterest lately, so I thought I would give them a try.
I rummaged through my yarn stash and came up with this nice, soft, variegated stuff left over from last years hat-scarf-mittens knitting binge. Remember that?
They, nay, IT knit up pretty fast. I was amazed that I could finish a glove (well, most of a glove) in just a few hours. There's just one little problem - I hate it! Seems I don't know how to measure, and the finished product is way longer than I wanted it to be. I would prefer it to start at my wrist, not half way up my arm. And it's just too bulky.
I could roll up the cuff, but seeing as it's too bulky to start with, that seems like a bad idea.
There's really only one solution. To the frog pond with it!
Hmmm, all those photos and all very different colours. The one with Taz is closest to the true colour.
