I was excited to be completing the mitts I started for Emma for Christmas. I couldn't remember how I bound off the right mitt, but it seemed fairly stretchy. So I undid the conventional bind off I had started on the left mitt and did my favorite stretchy bind off. Wrong! Look how loose it is. But the sun is out today and I should probably take advantage of it and fix the bind off while I can see this black yarn. Maybe you'll see these again on Friday, but in a finished state? I hope so!
That's what happens when too much time passes on a project - I hate when that happens!

I found that sometimes with projects I let sit...my gauge is slightly different when I restart...which seems strange to me.

I know you'll get it right! (and I LOVE the background books...looks like Emma's reading some great ones!)

re-doing is such a pain, but worth it in the end.
