FO! FO!

I have a book on my shelf entitled 100 One-Night Reads, edited by the venerable bibliophile Clifton Fadiman. The idea is, of course, that all the books featured within could be finished in an evening of dedicated reading. Sure. Obviously, Mr. Fadiman had no small children when he compiled this list.

I'm even more skeptical of "two-hour" knitting projects. I am a slow knitter, for starters, plus these claims always strike me as cynical marketing. But Ann Budd said that you could finish these mitts in an evening, and wouldn't you know it, even I could do it.

Diana is right. These are so comfy. I may never, ever take them off. I will very likely make more, so I can coordinate with all possible outfits and moods.
