I guess when you make something for yourself, you can be extra picky because you’re always checking to make certain it fits. This mitten does not fit!<\/p>\n

I used the same ideas I used for my other set of blue loom mittens, only this time, I chose Paton 100% merino wool. I used a double strand, did a ribbed cuff and a gathered top. However, here’s what I don’t like about this poor mitten:<\/p>\n

–The cuff is wider than the rest of the mitten. Because I chose the flat stitch for the majority of the mitten, the Purl 1, Flat Stitch 1 ribbing is too loose.<\/p>\n

–I started the thumb too early. I need one more row before starting that thumb. now, it rides up a touch right below the thumb.<\/p>\n

–The thumb is too snug\/short. I should have used more pegs, plus it needed two extra rows.<\/p>\n

–The top is too long. Now, here I’m getting picky. It’s only about one row too long.<\/p>\n

So, there you have it.\u00a0A failed mitten. Poor little thing. I intend on frogging it and starting over, making better notes this time. When I have a finished pair, I’ll do another post.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
