I mean forever. I've been knitting for maybe 5 years now (is that right Liz?) and I think this was some of my very first stash yarn bought maybe 4 years ago.<br /><br />I needed to get rid of it and I thought it would fit with <a href="http://lollygirl.com/blog/project-spectrum">Project Spectrum </a>and make some nice mitts for Michelle. These are much like the Maine Morning Mitts but a 2x2 rib and the gauge is totally different. <br /><br />And these are far more evil.Annhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06579984749815238197noreply@blogger.com
