No, not THAT sort of Gorilla!hehe... couldn't resist such a stupid joke! That was taken a couple of weeks ago on a family day trip to Taronga Zoo, in Sydney. Here I am, with my monkey offspring...
At any rate, I meant to keep going with the Tale of the Emergency Fingerless Mitts. Gather round, chill'n, and hear my story! What was I up to? Oh, yeah. Crapping out on the Humanity Mitts on the Thursday, and casting on a new pair of Fetchings that night instead... I managed to get the pair finished by Sunday lunchtime, even with them being a little longer than your usual pair of Fetchings, and with my improvised new thumb, which would have taken up more yardage than usual. My sister seemed pretty happy with them:
and so I hope that these will see plenty of use next year when the weather gets colder again! I used Debbie Bliss Cashmerino Aran, which was just delightfully soft to knit with. It felt lovely to try the mitts on as I was going... maybe I'll knit me a pair one day!And now, on to Guerilla Knitting. I happened upon an example of Guerilla Knitting in my home town of Bowral, a couple of weeks ago, in the main 'plaza'. I think this is reclaimed Sari silk, knit into a post warmer, featured here with Wonderboy.
I do think it's pretty cool, but a big part of me is ticked off that I didn't get to do it first...
