other people are brilliant
Eunny is brilliant and so inspiring: I ran across her post and pictures of her Endpaper Mitts today and now I have to knit myself a pair (perhaps without the thumb gusset though). I’ve been thinking about knitting myself some fingerless mitts ever since I knit my ex-boyfriend a pair in August, but I wanted something more elaborate than the garter stich set I made for him - enter the Endpaper Mitts stage center. I’ve already purchased the yarn - I went directly to Downtown Yarns after work - and my style is a little more traditional so I’m doing the set in navy and pale grey, but I am SO excited. This will be my first time knitting Koigu and I hope it will live up to all the amazing reviews.
This does, however, break the promise I made to myself that I would not start any new projects until I finished all my old works-in-progress… but does it count if I don’t cast on? I still have to knit my brother’s girlfriend a Christmas stocking and finish my Rowan Classic Julia Sweater before I start these. I’m almost done with the second sleeve of the Julia; it needs some serious blocking before I sew it up.
