Machine knit hats and the start of a new mitt!

 Hats 

I wanted to make hats for the church sale (which was today) but never finished them. Didn't finish weaving in the ends on the hats or the sweaters, or even sew on the buttons. I'm so bad, so tired, and just don't feel great. Lack ambition I guess.




Maybe I will donate to somewhere local.

Mitt for me?

I have joined a GAL (gift along) and am making mitts. I wanted to try making them with a less expensive yarn before attempting making them with some Malabrigo Arroyo.

I am working on the body of the first mitt, but I did finish the thumb! Since I don't like mitts long and down my arm or up onto my fingers, I subtracted to make it more my style. Makes it a little iffy on my part because it has be be just right due to the lace "insert"…had to ask for guidance.

I tried to link the photo but it didn't work, so put the link at the bottom of the photo.



This is the thumb…the first time I have made a mitt with such a fitted thumb! Worked well, though. I will finish up more later. Mine won't be that long.
