Another one bites the dust
I *finally* finished my mittens I started “last year” for my friend. I made one, then I got motivated to do other things, and I finally finished a second. Of course it has the same problem many of my mittens have, that it’s too small:
but at least it’s done and a pair. I think I’ll finish a second Telaio mitten to give to her, though.
In the spirit of stashbusting, I have been looking through my stash for oddballs and needles I need, and I found a WIP from who knows when. Last year sometime I was starting socks here and there, then I got totally off of the sock bandwagon and put them all aside. (I have 4 socks OTN that I can remember, and two that I finished one sock but never cast on for the second.) So I pull out this Knit Picks Palette sock, work on it for awhile, try to make it into a fingerless glove, and decide it is just not the right size for my wrist. I (gasp) frogged it. Then I pulled out all the Palette I have including another WIP I started who knows when and got stalled on. I’m now making a top down raglan and we’ll see how it goes.
I also had one of those funny experiences the other day that you can’t share with anyone but another knitter. I saw someone wearing an Odessa hat! It’s so funny when you can identify a pattern that someone has made and you’re not at Stitches or something like that.
Now if I could identify the yarn, I would be very very proud of myself!

Wow, you have a lot OTN!! Good eye with the Odessa hat - I would’ve seen it and thought it looked like a familiar pattern, but not been able to place it…
I can’t wait to see how your sweater turns out. I’m making a top-down raglan right now too, for the first time, and it just seems to be taking forever! Not used to big projects like that.
… I think I know what the yarn is. RYC Cashsoft DK is called for in the pattern, and I have a ball of it sitting here beside me in a colour that’s far too close to the colour of that young lady’s hat to be a coincidence.
LOL.
That’s so awesome, though, to recognise a knit out in public.
That is very awesoem to recognize a knit hat! I keep seeing the SNB newsboy cap. Did you talk to her?
Bummer about the not quite matching mittens - it’s the story of my life.
Stashbusting and frogging! Oh my. Good for you.
Ooo, an Odessa in the wild! Too cool. I’m sorry your mittens are too small. Could you block them out?
