Missing and Frustration...

I have had the cuff for the second stranded mitten done for over a week now, but cannot find the other 4 or 5 balls of Aran wool-ease that I have.

Plus, I hate how the inside of the first mitt feels. I think finer wool is usually used for a reason. There's no chance of felting bonding together the threads with 80% acrylic. So I did think of using wool in the second mitt - but then you lose the washable factor, and the decrease of old yarn factor...

I also redid the ribbing on the pink slouch beret hat - again. Still not happy. A size 3 needle seems to have been too tight to get the k2p2 ribbing to pull together, so am going to chase the bottom row with elastic thread.
