I finished a mitten!
I considered waiting until the left mitten was finished to put the buttons on, but I really wanted to be able to say I was halfway finished with this project. So I made buttons with some leftover red fabric that I think with match the Empress Mum's ski jacket.
And I sewed one on! I think it looks pretty good! I hope she likes it!
Now I just need to complete the left mitten to make a pair. Before starting I weighed my yarn to see if I would have enough and the short answer is no, I do not have enough. I will have to unravel my swatch and use that yarn and still might not have enough. Thankfully I still have the ball bands with the lot numbers so I'll head over to my local yarn store if necessary and buy another ball. Needless to say, this means Fairy Godchild will probably not get her own angora headband. She was horrified when I told her.
But look! I've already cast on the left mitten! And without starting a new project too!
Until next time,
Jessica, Empress of the Universe
