My Irish Hiking Fingerless Mitts are too small. AGHH. They were for my friend Marin – but her hands are bigger then mine, and these don’t even fit me!!! I used a thinner yarn, but I added a full cable repeat so mathematically they should have been perfect. But they aren’t. Now I have one beautiful mitten and a pair of fingerless gloves that are too small for anyone I know. I need to make friends with an 8 year old girl. They were too much work to take apart, so I’ll keep them around I guess.
Here’s a list of 10 exciting things I did today:
1. Boston Globe and NYTimes crossword puzzles.
2. Watched the Masters. I love to watch golf on tv. I have no idea why. I think the voices of the commentators really soothes me.
3. Talked to my mom on the phone!
4. Dishes, clean up the house, buy a couple things from cvs…
5. Went for coffee with my husband – fun!
6. Won $3 from my husband playing poker (with 5 cents as the basic amount…)
7. Volunteered to write an article or two for the fingerless glove newsletter
8. Checked when the bills are due – made sure I’m on top of everything
9. Cooked spagetti dinner. yum. I think I’m living on pasta. I wish I was living on something more exciting like ice cream or fruits.
10. Slept late.
Hopefully tomorrow will be more productive and I’ll make a plan on how to get where I want to be, and then take the first step or two.
