Happy Sunday to all!I am happy to say that life is slowly returning to normal after our traumatic weather week, documented here! I actually was able to get my car out of the driveway today and was able to get out--after being housebound since last Monday! Oh the freedom!
Now, I am all tucked back in my house and listening to a Frank Sinatra cd. I love those old standard classics. :)
On to the knitting news--
I got my semi-mystery KAL mitts all caught up and am awaiting the final clue, due out next Thursday which will close up the thumb gusset.
I am so pleased with this project and can't wait to wear them. The pattern will be free for a while on her website, so you all should go take a look.
I think I am still on a mitts roll, because I plan to cast on another pair--this time using a ball of yarn I won, way back last Fall from Keri and using this pattern.........called Pixie Warmers
I also have the yarn and needles to start this project...
.....if not this week, then real soon! It will be for my little 2 year old Grandy, Adelaide. I think she will be adorable in it.
And to top it off, I think I will be starting this dishcloth---the Ballband Dishcloth. I think I will do it with some variegated blue Sugar and Cream. I have had this pattern on my list to do ever since I joined Ravlery, two and a half years ago. :)
That is all from me--I hope this next week finds you all healthy, warm and full of knitting/crocheting joy.
*smiles*
I love your mitts, they are so textured looking, I'm sorely tempted..but can I take on another project. ? mmm, anyway, I do love what you've planned for your Grandy, its just so cute and I can imagine a little one in it. Love your next choice of dishcloth, I loved this one, looking forward to seeing it :)

Gorgeous mitts! And sounds like, with your weather, they're going to come in really handy! Maybe the weather is inspiring you to cast on another pair?
ReplyDeleteYour blue mitts look so warm and cozy! The stitch pattern is so neat to look at. I bet you'll get lots of compliments on them when you wear them about.
