After seeing a pair of little gauntlets I'd made for Hugh back in the day (to keep that part of the wrist warm which seems to always be exposed between mitten and jacket), Neva requested a pair for herself. I had some other projects on the go (go figure) but was ready to get at them recently. When choosing yarn, however, I lamented that the stuff she'd chosen was acrylic and therefore wouldn't be as warm as wool. "Oh, warmth doesn't matter, Mommy," she said. "I want these for playing Superhero in the basement." Alrighty, then. At this point I stopped caring about quality of execution and focussed on completion - mostly so I could get these off my list and move on to the next. She's delighted, nonetheless, and she even wore them to school today - presumably to play Superhero at recess.Pattern: mostly of my own devising
Yarn: Two different chunky weight acrylic yarns from my stash (leftovers from her poncho, actually)
