Goodbye half-done mittens ...

Alas.

I've been working on some mittens as a gift.

I already frogged them once, early on, because I was totally doing the two mittens at once on two circulars wrong. (Which, when I finally got it right, I must say is a way cool thing to be able to do, knit both at once!) Then I frogged them again after a few rounds of ribbing because the knit was too loosey on the big needles, and I thought I might want a few more stitches, too. So I was pleased with how these were looking. And they seemed like they'd be stretchy enough to accomodate even larger hands.

But I don't know. I think they'll be too stretched out for the recipient, when worn. They actually fit me fairly well, but they aren't for me.

I kept going, for awhile, not wanting to waste the effort I put into them.

But I think it's better that I frog mid-palm than complete them and have them be an "it's the thought that counts" sort of gift.

Goodbye mittens, about to be cut down in your unfinished youth. So sad.

Oh, and I owe Rosanne a MEME which I'm going to rebelliously call a MEME, so look for that, oh ... eventually. 'Cause right now I've got some frogging and knitting to do.
