Finding Time

In the midst of motherhood I've found some time to knit. About a month or so ago I closed my Etsy shop until I'm able to have more time to knit. That's pretty indefinite at this point, but lately I have found time to knit so perhaps my break won't be as long as I'd thought it would be. In any case, we'll see. During the past couple of weeks I have found time to knit while everyone else in my house sleeps or naps. My son naps better than he sleeps through the night at 20 months. And my husband is on the midnight shift so he sleeps most of the day, too. I've been knitting while they're sleeping. I finished a hat I started for my mom awhile ago. Then I started some owl fingerless mitts that I've been wanting to make for at least a couple of years know. I got them done pretty quickly. I just have the thumbs left to finish. I was actually surprised at how fast I was able to do them in my limited time. So, maybe I am getting life more under control with meal planning in place and some other adjustments. The pattern had some discrepancies in the instructions for the left glove. They may be corrected by now. I downloaded the pattern probably three years ago or close to it so enough time has lapsed where the creator could have fixed it. In any case, I figured out how to fix it, but I didn't feel like ripping back a third time to adjust the needle size; so for now the left glove is tighter than the right. My plan is to just knit a mate for each one. The tighter pair will be nice for a child or someone whose hands are even smaller than my own. I have relatively small hands and the left glove is tight. I'll be starting another left glove in the near future. Probably within the next 24 hours. In the meantime, this is what I've got:

It's apparent that one is smaller than the other. The bigger one fits better. I think it might look nicer, too.
