Infant's Thumbless Mittens


Working on the rewrite of a vintage pattern for Thumbless Mittens.  Do you think thumbless is a word?  Spell check in every avenue states, no.  Trying to figure out what was considered a baby yarn in the 50's is interesting.  I was sure this would be a quick project, but I am still struck on row 1, but hopefully the rest of the rows will be much smoother.  

I never used these on my Daughter.  I probably should have.  Reminds me when the nurse came to our home to check on her to make sure we were handling everything ok.  I just can't seem to get that imagine out of mind, when she said, "oh, you need to keep her nails trimmed so she won't scratch her face".  This woman, no joke, sat there and chewed my Daughters nails down.  I couldn't get up fast enough to stop her, she was so quick and pro about it. I was so stunned, I didn't know what to say.  Needless to say, she was never let back in the house.

Yes, I should have hooked some of these up and had them on her hands before the nurse showed up.  

Least she didn't spit her nails across the room like we spit a sunflower watermelon seed.  

Have a great weekend,
