It was a red-letter day for me when I got to work today because these were tucked into my little tiny cubby. These mittens, started as a learn-to-knit project on four needles with wonderful wool yarn in a color I loved… and which languished as an unfinished project for many many years. (I remember starting them on a long-ago trip to New Hampshire)
Then a wonderful knitting lady, Clea, came to work with me and I offered her some of the yarn that I’d acquired and even this unfinished set of mittens and its remaining yarn. She said yes!
And so today I was amazed to have two mittens, with thumbs, of a wonderful wool yarn in a color I love – to wear! And blessed to know someone who could pick up a project started by someone who knew very little and finish it so wonderfully. Many many thanks to Clea!

Now I do! Did I help you with the counting off for the thumbs or something? or were you on your own. Was that your first project? No 2 needles for you, you went for the 4 needles!
I haven’t touched my knitting since I recovered from my hip surgery and could sit at my sewing machine. I’m getting inspired!
