Last night our internet went out before I could check in and didn't come back until I was going to bed so, I'll start with a shortened version of yesterday: before work I got some inside decorating done, but not nearly as much as I'd like. I just feel so far behind on everything. And I knitted on the mitten.

Today, after a much needed post work nap, I finished knitting the mitten (except casting off). It looked really nice, but I was right about not having enough stretch. Getting my hand in it would have been a serious struggle and if I was even able to get it on, it would have stretched so tight, it would have probably popped a seam and the pattern in the knitting was lost visually. So I frogged it and started over. It's too soon to tell how much stretch it's going to have this time, but it already feels more flexible. The only set back was I accidentally knit almost the entire second row with the long tail left from casting on (to sew it together at the end) instead of the yarn from the skein. At least that was a simple fix.

Cross your fingers I will get some writing done before the drabble challenge at the froday comm ends tomorrow.
