Lookit, A Mitt!

Real-life version of the 1890's Lady's Mitt, except instead of knitting it in nice Andalusian wool and black silk I've gone and crapped it all up by using a thrift-store skein of Red Heart Luster Sheen. Jebus. Hopefully they don't make this stuff anymore.

Shut up! It's a practice pair, OK! I'm trying to decide whether to spin up some nice black alpaca for a pair since I didn't have any black wool that thin.

US size 0 double pointed needles. I'm guessing this could even take a size 00.

I would have gotten further or even finished the fool thing and started the second but I went out in the wind and the rain with co-workers after work and we got snozzled. I can't knit snozzled.
