the easiest mittens alive

In an act of utter cruelty, I finished my sweater last night. Why is this cruel? Because I finished it only hours after there was an incident involving my computer and a can of diet coke...so my computer, and hence my camera (AKA webcam, since I do not posess an actual camera of picture-takingness) are unable to be used at current, which is a serious shame because I FINISHED! And I want to show off, gosh darn it!

I do think it came out rather nicely, though. It's just the right size, too. I love it when that happens.

Last night after finishing I cast on for a mitten...I had made HelloYarn's pirate mittens last year, and they served me dutifully, but somewhere along the way I lost one of them, and then forgot to even bring the other one with me to school this year, so...I needed mittens.

At WEBS the other day I found some sale yarn in the warehouse, Nature Wool Chunky, in a really pretty blue color, for just five dollars, and I thought it would make nice mittens, and since I was feeling uncreative in the denoumount of finishing the sweater, the mittens are seriously the simplest things alive.
I finished the first one in my Computer Graphics class today, and cast on for the second one directly after, but haven't touched it since.

Anyway. Hopefully the computer folks will fix my computer soon, and I'll be able to post pictures. Fingers are crossed.
