Don't you remember the saga of the MIL sock? And how I had to rip out the gusset THREE times before I finally got it right? And that was not my first sock...

I really...Your fingerless mitts came out AWESOME!! I really love that color- in fact, I just ordered some of that Cranberry to make my sister's Christmas gift. Doing the provisional cast-on was a great idea- the seam (or lack of one, rather!) looks great.

I too love ice skating and I'm so happy you and your Mom had such a wonderful time. Now the next time there is a REAL cutie ont he ice, you'll know enough to let the jewelry fly (after they are done skating of course) ;) I'll be sure to watch in December.:)<BR/>CathCathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10816734246586566719noreply@blogger.com
