Not my day

It's official. I ran out of yarn for the Print O' Wave Stole last night. I finally convinced myself to pick it up and finish knitting, maybe it was just my imagination that I was going to run out of yarn. But I was right, with only 10 1/2 repeats left to go, I ran out of yarn. So that has gone back into the WIP box until I get more of the yarn. I am so disappointed! I am so close to finishing it and now I'll have to wait.

I cast on the Anemoi Mittens last night with a tubular cast-on. This is a beautiful cast-on, the edge is perfectly finished, I was in awe. Problem: I was thinking that it looked a little tight. But I figured since I did a gauge check before hand maybe it just looked tight. So on I went, finished the ribbing and started the body pattern. I am amazed at how easy and fast this goes. The pattern looks so intricate that I thought it would be slow going. So now I have the ribbing finished and some of the body and it still is looking tight. I tried it on. Mind you these are a gift for someone whose hands are smaller then mine, but I almost broke all 4 of my needles and got a wool burn on my hand getting this on. I'm not sure if you can tell how tight this is, but I couldn't move my wrist and it was starting to cut off my circulation. So I have ripped this out and am trying to decide what to do. I thought about using larger needles, but I had already used US1 instead of the recommended US0 for the ribbing. What to do, what to do.
