I am sitting here at 2pm in my housecoat and I'm loving it. I've had 3 cups of coffee and breakfast with dessert (still lots of goodies around). And I might contemplate lunch soon. Aaannd I knit myself a present. New Mittens. My pattern (earlier blog) seems to work out fine (my daughter got those). I should try it in some other weight of yarn too but these are for me. I am tickled red to have a new pair of mittens. I am a walker and these curl around my fingers, the thumb is nice and roomy and I made them to my exact hand measurements. Lovely.
Tonight we are partying with friends and I have a second sock to knit. There will be lots of good food and plenty of music being played and after a quiet day or two of reading I'm ready to head out.
Hope you are enjoying this time. The new year is closing in fast.

I was asked the other day why I knit mittens, which I prefer to wear. Because you are a walker, and I am a dog walker, mittens are the perfect choice! My hands never get cold in mittens, but my fingers freeze in gloves. I'm wondering how your mitten pattern would felt, if I made it larger. :O) I'd vowed not to knit more mittens this winter, and to finish the last Newfoundland mitten this weekend. But darn it, I think I'm gonna have to give these a try. (the reason I knit most things!) Happy warm hands to you in 2008!
ReplyDeleteDeb, I am also enjoying my holiday time off. Happy New Year and I will see you next year. BBD
