My charity crafting slowed down a lot last week as I decided to knit a matching hat and cowl set, and I am SUCH a slow knitter. They turned out gorgeous though so I’m not mad (photos to come when I’ve sewn the ends in).
I also thought it was time to get started on some other items and here I ran into a problem. Using Tin Can Knits The World’s Simplest Mittens pattern, I decided to go for the adult (large) size to use up as much yarn as possible. But I ended up with this:
I know ribbing stretches, but there is no way this tiny thing will ever stretch enough to fit a large adult. I refuse to frog and start again so these are now toddler mittens. Thank goodness the charity is accepting donations for all ages.
Next up I might actually try the smallest size in the pattern and use them as tiny adorable tree decorations. We’ll see how fiddly they turn out to be.

Hmmm…if you got gauge, you might be surprised. Either way, the recipient will be blessed. How are the wedding plans coming along?

They do look deceptively small. I guess the suspense of the fit will be resolved as you knit some more.

On DPNs it’s very hard to tell, they may yet surprise you and fit.

My gosh – those are tiny! But it’s pretty yarn, so either way they will keep someone’s hands warm 🙂
