(I'm not talking about the quality of the photo, that is obviously wrong, but my camera simply refuses to focus anymore, and until I can afford a new one, I'll just have crappy pictures.)I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong,. I have picked up these hundred stitches time and again, and when I get to the last step, where I begin knitting in the round, it all turns out like a jumbled mess. I went to the website to see if there were mistakes in the pattern, and there aren't. What! Am! I! Doing! Wrong!? I've never made a nonibag, but the pattern seems straight forward, simple even. So why is it giving me such a hard time?
I sent the mittens to the windy city today. I thought priority post was in order, and so paid $4.60 (yes, you read right, four dollars and sixty cents to send a pair of mittens that probably weigh an ounce a piece!) and sent them off. Then found out that it is 65 degrees in Chicago today. Uh, yeah, I wouldn't exactly call that a cold snap, and there was no reason to spend that kind of money. But maybe it will cool off and there will be a need for mittens in Chi-town again some day. By the way, I used the House Mittens pattern from Charmed knits, done in large, and used Lion Brand Wool-ease. I may get made fun of here, but I really love that wool-ease! It is so cheap, and it knits up beautifully. I lika-da woolease....
Time to go show that noni bag who is boss.

I love your entries always! I am determined to finish my four projects I have on the needles...cause there are at least four more I am holding back on simply because I refuse to start another until at least one is done!
