\"Scrummy<\/a>
The offending objects<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I’m in the midst of last-second holiday gift knitting… not really my style, I’m more of a slo-mo knitter and not much of a holiday or gift-giving type, either. In any case, I whipped up a pair of super-bulky mittens.<\/p>\n

My wife looked at them and said something to the effect of “if you’re going to be an excellent knitter, you’re going to have to try for excellence every time.”<\/p>\n

She’s right, these are not my best work. I was rushing and don’t like the yarn much, and due to lack of attention ended up with one mitten having an extra 4 rows. With yarn this big, it translates to something like 3\/4 of an inch of difference between the two.<\/p>\n

I will do better! No sloppy knitting for me. My apologies to the recipient… I promise to make a better pair for you!<\/p>\n

(below is the second pair I made… for another recipient… more care taken)<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
