Day 6: I decided to dedicate myself to finishing up the sock project over the last couple of days so I could start a pair of mittens. I waited for this morning's natural light to weave the toe, and once that was done, I pulled out a skein of wool worsted and a set of size 4 double-point needles, casting on a mere 44 stitches for the mitten cuff. It didn't take long before I had the requisite three inches completed and now I'm ready to start the thumb gusset. I seldom knit with worsted yarn and it always suprises me at how quickly the heavier material works up. I feel like I'm knitting ship's hawser on a pair of spars!
