I am often my own worst enemy, procrastinating projects that I'm not confident about. In August, RainCity Fiber Arts asked if I would design a pair of fingerless mitts for her Pilchuk Chunky yarn. She wasn't in a rush, so I did not make a priority of the project. Other projects have come and gone and the yarn still sat on my shelf, patiently awaiting my attention. Yesterday, I had a horrific headache and wasn't up to doing much more than laying in bed, watching Netflix, so I decided I would be a bit productive. The challenge was to use as much of the 82 yd hank as possible, without going over. Success! Using my scale to check my remaining yarn at key points of the first mitt, I successfully completed it with just a hair less than 1/2 of the yarn used. I cast on and worked the second mitt and found I ended with approximately 3.5 yards remaining. PERFECT! I will be writing the pattern up (officially today), then just need to get some great photos. The pattern will be available from RainCity Fiber Arts and perhaps on my Ravelry store as well. We haven't hashed out all of the selling details yet.
