now you see it, now you don't

this is my thrummed mitten that i have been working on

until recently it looked like this

and now it looks like this (below)

i was really frustrated with my progress, for a number of reasons,

and decided to pull it out and start over
a friend said i should just keep moving on

but i had completely lost my motivation for the project

probably the biggest reason was it was really hard to get on my hand (too small)

but i had also dropped a stitch, made my thrums way too big,

accidentally knit the cuff too long etc

so two nights ago, i took a deep breath and started to unravel

i feel much better now! feels like a clean slate

last night i began re-working my thrums

and this is what they are suppose to look like

wispy, ends tucked together and rolled a bit in the middle
mine are probably still a little bulky but not as bad as they were

so here is to my new start!

today when i couldn't find my children
i found one cuddled up here
and the other cuddled up here
guess when it is cold, there is not better place to be
then snuggled up under quilts and blankets!
