My Private Knit Night!

Tomorrow is the last night for the details of packing for the show and I'll be doing a payroll for my business client, too, as well as running last minute errands. But tonight, I had planned on a manicure (I was way overdue, but with all the sewing and steam pressing - a devil on nail polish! - I couldn't see getting it done till now). So afterwards, I came home and knit during the news and thru Jeopardy! and I finished the first...(right-handed)

Fine Cabled Mitt from Anne. Here's the first shot that really gives an idea of how long it is...there are only 7 of 8 repeats of the cable pattern. Anne mentions that for the SMALL size there are 8 repeats, but you can stop where you need to. And yes, I have maintained my entire life that the daintiest (i.e. "smallest") things about me are my feet and my hands! Here's the proof! I almost made these too long! (Another option might be to knit a shorter cuff than the 3 inch rib? But I'm going to be very happy with that length come winter!)

Here is a slightly closer shot to see the cabling...I have not yet blocked it, but I think I will...everyone has said that Wildfoote evens out upon blocking. Oh, and yes, I'm getting a penny for my own thoughts tonight! lolol!

I'll have to wait to cast on the for second mitt (acknowledging that this could be as bad as SSS - Second Sock Syndrome) but I don't dare try to get it OTN before I leave for the show!

I don't think I'll have any trouble with the amount of yarn left in my one skein of Wildfoote Tomcat (these are knit on size 3 Addi Naturas).

(And just for the record - this is the FIRST thumb I've ever knitted. I just might try for mittens! Whoohoo!)

Now don't forget, I'm going to leave you with a teaser tomorrow, so stop back by in the evening!
