I have lots of things on my restless needles at the moment but not one finished project in sight. This need to finish something, I think, makes the restlessness that much worse so I spent some time the other night looking around for something I could work up quickly. Little did I know the inspiration I was looking for was hanging put in my blogroll in the form of Kate's hooky fingerless mitts. I dug out the Noro Striped Scarf I knew I was never going to finish (I didn't realize you needed two skeins of each color when I purchased the yarn), frogged it and started a pair of crocheted mitts of my own.
I didn't photograph it but the flip side of a fabric crocheted through the back loops is really pretty so I had a little trouble deciding which side to use. In the end I did use the front side, though.

I dug through my button box and pulled out three random-yet-vaguely-matching buttons for each mitt, thinking I would decorate the wrists a bit but once I sewed the first and started on the second I decided I liked them colorfully plain.
So that was a slight cure for the restlessness - tomorrow I've got a bit more cure to post!
Oh oh oh!!! You liked my little fingerless mitts! I'm so glad! Yours look wonderful- I love that great yarn can really make basic stitches sing!
