my friend d wears fingerless gloves.

they look funky and warm and fantastic on her.

so i recently started on a fingerless gloves knitting kick.

i’m sporting a pair knit from the pattern ‘board and batten‘ right now.

the snuggle factor is palpable.

i can tell already

that i’m gonna wear these

until i absolutely wear them out.

the yarn is knit picks shine in sport weight

(there’s beech wood in the mix which feels fab)

but it’s the color that grabs me, pulls at me

and it’s pretty and all but not ‘wow’

or anything like that.

then today it hit me.

these mitts are exactly the same color

as my old favorite sweatshirt

the one from countless family vacations.

my cousins & i all own one (different colors).  mine is a perfect match to these.

funny how i didn’t see that right off.

there are so many photos of me in this shirt over the years,

seems like it would have been obvious.

and fyi, today is the last day to enter to win yarn for your own ‘merciful’ over here.
