The Story of the Lost Fingerless Mitt

A couple of weeks ago I was out shoveling the sidewalk.

I wore the pair of fingerless mitts over some gloves. When I came inside the house I was missing one. Went outside and dug around but no luck.

And then a couple of days ago I saw something hanging from a twig on the tree out front.

Some kind passerby put my mitt in the tree

Today I was wearing the reunited pair and realized the thumb was not long enough

I had more of the Rare Breed Manx Loaghtan yarn from the Isle of Man click on the name of the breed and see the multi horned sheep.

From the sheep the Vikings left behind©️

These sheep were almost extinct but click link for how they saved the sheep from Viking times. Yarn available

So I picked up stitches with my double point needles and extended the thumbs

Much toastier. Can’t have a chilly thumb.

If you’re a knitter you can knit Easy Fingerless Mitts by Maggie Smith.

It’s Pothole Season in Pittsburgh

In the city of Pittsburgh you can call 311 and report a pothole. That doesn’t mean the pothole repair /road maintenance crew will be able to get to your neighborhood immediately. It’s a year round effort in these parts. You really have to watch out for potholes when you’re driving.

Due to the freeze/thaw in our region, this is the time of year when the potholes appear and grow, endangering your tires, axles and suspension system of your car, not to mention alignment.

A guy rolled down his window and said “you should turn around and take a picture of an even bigger one back there”, he pointed.
