I'm very gleeful right now *_* Close friend of mine has asked me to do a pair of mittens for her. I still get a bit squirmy when making things to give, because I'm not sure the victim recipient will want it, so I'm stoked that she actually asked! And not in a way that's incidental and all "hey I heard you knit now why don't you knit me something" in a way that's clear that they're going to forget about it even before I start a project for them? She's all enthusiastic about it which makes me all enthusiastic *G*

I'm a bit meh about the vest for my grandpa because (and I just realized the difference) this one is my mom asking me to make something for him, so it's got all these strings of familial obligation, and importantly, I don't know if he even wants it or anything like it. So I'm stuck on this project :(

I'll give it a go soon-ish, but first mittens. I have never knit mittens before, only fingerless gloves :D I'm EXCITED.

I love mittens. They are actually easier than fingerless gloves.
