Mittens

I'm currently knitting up some multicoloured acrylic that I found in an op shop (I'm pretty sure it's Carnival), making kids' mittens and beanies. I have to redo the very first one I did, as I realised - when doing the left hand - that I'd made a mistake. The 2nd set is working out better. I don't know how I managed to mess it up, as they're easier to do than gloves. I was probably just too involved in whatever telly I was watching!

My plan is to have some knits to sell at the flea market I'm planning in September. I'm torn, though, between this, my many other UFOs, and dropping everything to make things for baby Alex.

I shouldn't be making these mittens, as I have so many other things on the go, but I wanted something relatively simple to make. I'd just made 10 beanies for K4BN, so the beanie was something I barely had to think about. Then I decided that some mittens would be cute with it.

After this, I really need to finish some of the UFOs I'm making to sell, and redo the neckband on the grey jumer. I also need to remember to take photos! I forgot to take a photo of the pile of beanies I made for the group.

I still have lots of K4BN yarns, so I will keep making things for them as well, but I need to think about my own situation first. Gotta pay the rent, service the car, pay for Dexter's operation, buy cat food, etc etc.
