For anyone that knows me, they would probably think im the worst ever homemaker type around. Whenever my sister asks about what I will do when I grow up, I always reply "hire a chef, a maid, a nanny and a dogwalker" hehe .. but recently, ive been on the lookout for some mittens to keep my icey hands warm during the cooler months. After scouring the shops, I have found a gorgeous pair of Mimco mittens but I dont want to spend $40 for mittens, some cute detachable type mittens at Accessorize (QUan's going to buy those for me!) and some funny looking funky types at Studio 388 which isnt really my style..
So i got to thinking, Im going to attempt to *knit* a mitten. I told my family and no one had ANY faith in my knitting skills, or homemaking skills whatsover. So I thought to myself(as any childish immature brat thinks) : "IM GOING TO SHOW YOU!" haha.. So off I went to google knitting patterns and I downloaded and printed off two. The first one was a complete and utter mess, I ended up with two thumbs, then ended up with half a thumb, then I just gave up and threw the pattern away. The second pattern was much more easier, and after 4 hours of knitting (haha yes im slow) i managed to knit myself a "right hand" mitten.
Sure, the lines are crooked, the colour is awful , the texture is not as soft as id like, but they were my first practice mitten. Unfortunately because of the texture, Ive decided to use them as exfoliating gloves instead (haha that's how rough they are) and im going to go out and buy some nice new wool to make mittens. *wooHOO*
