The not-quite-completed fingerless mitten now has a twin. It is ready to be bound off, then both will be to the point of needing thumbs. Not doing the thumb seemed like a good trick at the time to get me to start the other one, theory being that it wouldn't seem finished enough to make me think I was done. The downside is that I don't really feel motivated to put thumbs on either at the moment. Perhaps I should just accept cold thumbs?
Other down point - my gauge has changed (loosened) as I've gained experience. I probably should have gone down to size 3s, but didn't have any, and I was on a roll. I've been told that the gloves stretch with wearing in any case, and that the right one will likely match the left after a little bit of wear.
The other half of the Cherry Tree Hill will be used to knit a feather and fan scarf, a free pattern from Borealis Yarns.
