One pink wool fold-over style fingerless
mitt. The other is missing because I am
in the middle of casting on and praying that I don't have the same problem that I have had with the Skinny Mittens...
You can probably see that the now soaked and
blocked Skinny Mittens are ever so slightly mismatched? I don’t mean in the striping, that is a
given. I am talking about the fact that
using the same number of stitches, the same yarn, and the same needles, one
mitt is a bit larger than the other.
What could have happened? Did I
have a tense week and knit tighter than the week before? Did a weather change make the yarn thinner
than a week ago? Have you ever had this
happen to you?
Also among the missing is one of my
favorite blogs, Lovin’ Comfort Knits. I
am missing Grace’s prolific knitting and worrying about what is happening to
her and Tom. They have had a hard year
and have been in my prayers and thoughts.
I guess there comes a time when blogging is the last thing on your mind. You will not be forgotten Grace!!
I guess I am frequently among the
missing even though I continue to promise myself I will post at least every few
days it never seems to happen. Life
intervenes. This week our sweet
daughter-in-law’s brother passed away in Thailand and though many miles from us
it wounded our hearts as we tried to help her deal with being so far away from
her other family at a time like this. I
had this blog mostly set to post as soon as the pictures were uploaded, but it
quickly became unimportant.
Even though I post sporadically when life gets in the way I
will just keep doing my best and hoping you all keep stopping by to see what is
happening in the Comfort Zone (mismatched mittens and all).
