I gave myself my first needles on my Birthday in February of 2011. I decided that I was going to teach myself how to knit. I promised myself that some day I was going to be an “Amazing knitter!” So here I am, far from amazing, obsessively purchasing yarn, teaching myself how to knit, and sharing that journey with you… var _gaq = _gaq || []; _gaq.push(['_setAccount', 'UA-22580024-1']); _gaq.push(['_trackPageview']); (function() { var ga = document.createElement('script'); ga.type = 'text/javascript'; ga.async = true; ga.src = ('https:' == document.location.protocol ? 'https://ssl' : 'http://www') + '.google-analytics.com/ga.js'; var s = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0]; s.parentNode.insertBefore(ga, s); })();

I hate when I have a super good idea and I tell someone about it and they say "Oh did you find that on Pinterest?" "NO I FOUND IT IN MY BRAIN!!!"

Has anyone ever knit the red heart free family heart mitten pattern? If you click through this photo, you will be taken right to it. I just made these mittens in child size, I swatched and everything and these do not fit my 5 year old. She can't get them on her hands!! Anyone have a good mitten pattern? or any advice?
