One ball of Queensland Collection Kathmandu Aran did indeed make a pair of Fetching fingerless mitts. My slightly longer at the wrist version, no less.
My fingers aren't really that short, btw. You try to take a picture of your own hand and see how easy it is.
I love them and really want a sweater out of that stuff.
Time served was two days.
I cast on 40 stitches because 45 was too big. Think oversized sleeve. I used US 7 bamboo DPNs and finished them last night while watching Four Weddings and a Funeral.
I love that movie.
Love the pattern and will do it again.
Soon. Someone *cough*KnittyOtter*cough* sent me the yarn to make her a pair.
One day, I'll make friends with that camera, but not today. Today is for enjoying my mitts and figuring out where I can meet a sugar daddy that's good at math*.
Oh, and could someone please take pity on me and say something nice about the cables? It's a rare day when I remember to get them all going in the same/right direction.
Plus it's been a week. /sigh
*See yesterday's post.
Your cables are fantastic. They all go in the right direction on the left hand and in the left direction on the right hand. Go Cookie!
Sorry your week has been crap. Make yourself feel good by knitting mitts for our favorite Otter.

Those are beautiful! And I was very impressed that the cables were...uhh...I think I'm looking for some sort of technical word, but I'll just say that they are looking at each other. I love that!

Such pretty girls! Wait... those are girls right?

Very cool job on the twisty cables. And I've had a made love affair with the Kathmandu. I wish I could afford a whole sweater's worth, too.

Ooooh baby! Look at the set of cables on those girls! They have curves in all the right places.
Love how you snuck bloglines in there.

The cables are awesomely beautiful. I am speechless by their magnificence. Seriously though,if I wasn't in the middle of summer I'd be tempted by the mits you've made.

I have a ball of this yarn in a dark teal. I am now dropping everything to make up a pair of these. Thanks for doing the math. I can only hope that mine turn out as nice.

Hugs!!!!
