Till the end of November, all my posts will start this way: I’m raising money for Alzheimer’s Research UK by knitting every day in November. It’s important to me because my dad has Alzheimer’s. If you feel so moved, you can donate here.

I’ve renamed this project because, as Regina pointed out, I’ve been blithely calling them fingerless mitts and they do, in fact, have fingers. Amazing the things you don’t think about…

I think ‘mixed up’ suits them both because of this initial confusion and the mix of the two yarns, which I’m really enjoying!

Also, on my first go of the fingers I went off pattern and did increases instead of casting on new stitches (I dunno, I thought it was a good idea at the time) and that’s why they came out wrong.

I’m back to where I had got to and it’s going much better now that I’m, you know, following the pattern…

Also, I had a very generous anonymous donation to my fundraiser and if that was you, thank you so much!
