The mitts are in the mail

I have knit two pair of mitts from one of my patterns in opposite colors... I have been spending my Christmas vacation time on this off and on. It also required some attention to the pattern as they are being considered for "publication".

Here they are in their new revamped colors.


Now I need to make another pair of men's fingerless mitts in the same color as last time, and a black hat similar to the one I made for Hal and Madeline wants me to make her some musical fingerless mitts.

I wondered why all my pictures had a blurry spot

There was a fingerprint on my lens!

I finally finished my pair of November Mist mitts. They were supposed to be part of my mom's Christmas gift.... but they will get there tomorrow or the next day. I am going to try and mail them today or tomorrow. She got the one finished one in her wrapped package on Christmas Day with the promise that the next would be worked on.

Booby socks finished Chtistmas Eve.

finished the second one last thing Christmas eve..... Finally!

A day too late

I finally finished grandma's cowl.... won't make it by Christmas.. but that's ok.

one more row please

I have one more row of purl before the bind off on my grandmother's cowl.

Hal gave those fingerless mitts to his coworker, and said he loved them. He said they were the best he had ever seen. each finger had ribbing (he said "that stitch") like an individual little sweater for each finger, and they were super soft. I am glad he liked them. I guess they were a little big, but oh well.

Light at the end of the tunnel

I was going to make a pair of mitts for my Mother In law for Christmas, however I didn't get them done, and they decided to do a drop by this afternoon, so I just gave her the body butter and soap that I traded/ordered from Ganiggle. I gave them the unscented of each. I think I gave the orange soap to my dad's girlfriend, and will give something to my mom, or not, because I do have a pair of socks for her, and have one half a pair of mitts and another half of a pair of socks I can give her and promise the other halves later. (I did last year).

I think I may keep the rest of the body butter and soaps for me.

Almost done with Grandma's cowl, she may even get it for New Year's .

Men's fingerless gloves finished

I finished these last night.... used size 2 needles because alpaca is sort of stretchy.
