For Christmas, I had decided at the last minute to make my Stepmom a pair of fetching mitts from some leftover Lanas Puras Melosa from my Urban Wrap. So I started the 1st mitt before traveling home to NJ on Dec 22nd. When I got home, I realized I had misplaced 2 of the needles. Argh! Luckily I had some Denise #5's that I made due with and finished the 1st one.
Then I ran out of yarn.
Ok, so obvious this project was just not meant to be finished by Christmas. So I gifted the one and promised the other would be on it's way soon. And here it is:

And this was how much yarn was left. I just made it!

Details: Fetching by Cheryl Niamath -- Knitty Summer 06
Yarn: Leftover Lanas Puras Melosa in Passion
Needles: Size 6 dpn
Fast, easy project with great results. If only everything would have cooperated as well as the knitting!

Living on the edge, Melissa! ;) Beautiful product though. And your stepmom didn't have to wait long for Fetching's mate.
yikes! that's cutting it awfully close!
What a gorgeous color. She must love them! Also, don't knock selfish knitting -- it's absolutely necessary ;-)
