They are really nice in real life.<\/p>\n<p>THE PATTERN: Bluebell rib from Sensational Knitted Socks by Charlene Schurch over 56 stitches.  Rib at edges is K3 P1 K1 P1 and K1 P1 on the thumb. I probably won&#8217;t write a pattern for them because I don&#8217;t know how to explain what I did.  (&#8220;Like, knit in pattern, then make a thumb! then like stop and augh!&#8221;) Meh.<\/p>\n<p>The yarn is extremely generous in yardage, so I think I will probably have enough for a pair of socks even after knitting these, which didn&#8217;t really take up that much. They&#8217;re only about 7 inches in length.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a title=\"Roadhouse Mitts by Pynnski, on Flickr\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/pynnski\/3053700201\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm4.static.flickr.com\/3238\/3053700201_7845c924fa.jpg\" alt=\"Roadhouse Mitts\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t think I&#8217;m done making mitts &#8211; which is good, since I want to make gloves and mittens too.<\/p>\n<p>***<\/p>\n<p>I went and saw Twilight today with Malvina, and it was hilarious.  Much like I found the books to be like delicious literary CRACK, the movie was more of the same, with slo-mo significant glances and fog machine action and yes, sparkly vampires (complete with &#8220;sparkle&#8221; sound effects!).
