Moving, etc.

So I haven't posted in a while because I've been busy moving to a new part of town. It's pretty neat, and I'll post some cool things about that later. But for now, some house-keeping.

My sweater is on hold because 1) I'm pretty sure I'm going to run out of yarn and 2) I'm almost certain it will not fit me and lastly 3) I'm kind of bored with it. A while ago I bought this deer hat pattern, and I actually bought yarn to start it but I lost it.


A friend gave me this nice colorful alpaca yarn, and I started making these hand-warmers, which I intended on just finishing off into real mittens, but this pattern has given me some grief.

Whaaaaat happened here??? I don't know. I messed up somewhere. But the biggest problem is that the bound-off stitches didn't match up with the yarn overs. Maybe I was just tired from unpacking and forgot how to read.

Is that a thumb hole?

The yarn didn't stripe as well as I thought it would anyways, so I'm looking for another project to use it on.
