As promised, proof of knitting:
Taken at the time of delivery with my less-than-adequate cellphone camera* and modeled by Tira’s (aka Gayle’s) coworker. The mitts were pronounced silky and soft and superb by both recipient and model.
* Yes, I did indeed completely forget my amazo-cam at home, because I’m an idiot like that sometimes. Sigh.

Glad you clarified that it wasn’t some other kind of quickie! They look lovely and warm.
(You know the joke, right? A guy goes into a restaurant and asks the waitress for a quickie?)
Nope, don’t know it… Do tell!
A guy goes into a restaurant and asks the waitress for a quickie.
She gives him a dirty look, says “NO!” and goes to complain to the manager.
The manager comes out and asks the man to leave.
The man says, “But! You have it on the menu!” And he points to the special of the day- QUICHE.
