The Island of Misfit Toys

...and mittens.

I tore the mitten back and re-knit it from the cuff. Then I tore out the tip and re-did it. Then I had to re-do the thumb once.

Now it's too wide (Same length...at least I got that matched) and the decreases on the tip are rotated a bit from the thumb. I wore them today and it felt weird. They were very warm, however. Can't beat a nice wool mitten for keeping the hands warm.

I think I will send it to the Island of Misfit Mittens. (Yes. We watched Rudolph last night.)

Seriously...the first one was perfect the first time. What happened?

Anyone ever re-knit a mitten three times?

Start with the question, anyone ever knit a mitten? Then work up from there.

How was your party?
