The mittens are done! What a great feeling that is. A WARM FUZZY kinda feeling. I know why I didn't finish them the first time around. The pattern SUCKS! Not written very well, and many steps could have either been eliminated or altered and made easier.
Ahhhh, the socks. Coming along nicely. I am only getting
a chance to work on them alittle bit here and there. Lunch at school, right before bed. Nothing to serious. They are moving quickly. I believe I have a few more inches then I turn the heel. I like the yarn. It is a tad rough, but I think the wash will soften them up.
And finally.... I started a new project. I thought it would be a weekend project, and would have been if I didn't have anything else to do. The dog was shivering next to me Friday night, and I remembered some yarn that has been in storage for at least 15 years. Maratona. Sound familiar? I bought it at a shop that was closing. In its day it was the softest, most expensive stuff out there. I bought 5 balls. different dye lots and all. I felt so proud walking out of the shop, with MARATONA! But what the h#$ I was going to make is beyond me. Then 15 years later I found it... I hope that young knitter in me is OK with it.
Gilbert is getting a beautiful new sweater in the finest Italian wool around.....15 years ago anyway. It is a beautiful shade of pink burgundy.
So, thats it for this week. Desperate House Wives is on. Love it! And I really need to knit!
