Take Two: I realized I had TOTALLY screwed up the cable chart for the Elinore’s Mittens by Flintknits (isn’t it nice to publicly embarrass yourself every now and then?). So I ripped back to the cuff and fixed it. I’m actually done with this mitten but I finished this morning before work & don’t have a picture yet. So this, people, it was it’s supposed to look like.
This mit needs to be blocked and better pictures (taken in day light) and then I’m ready for #2.
This weekend will find me in two places. 1 being on the couch searching for Law & Order (any version) reruns and knitting my freaking fingers to the bone. I’ve got about 5 more inches on the FIL sweater, I need to block & seam my cousin’s sweater & I should probably block, seam & see where I’m at with the Cascading Leaves Throw (this one will probably be given after Christmas though).
And 2, in the kitchen, making pulla among other various breads & cookies.
The after Christmas knitting plan is (for my sanity only)
1. Finish knitting my sack boy (this will take like 3 hours)
2. CO scarf in Mette’s beautiful Icelandic yarn
3. CO for scanidnavian knee socks
4. CO for classic brooks sweater for me in beaverslide sport weight.
5. And maybe this hat?
I’m also re-iterating my resolution to only work from my stash until I can fit everything I have into 1 Rubbermaid container. No new yarn till at least May 09
Wow, your weekend plans sound suspiciously like my weekend plans! I just finished taking my last final for the semester (in fact, I’m still in the library) and my reward for finishing is going to be nothing but holiday knitting non-stop.
My post x-mas knitting plan is outrageously long. I fantasize about a different new project (for me!) every day!
Hey there! The mitten is just AWESOME!!!!!! How long did that take you (minus the re-do of course) but I just wondered how long? The pattern is so neat!
It’s so hard to NOT buy more yarn, right? I also have to use what I have before I get anymore!
If you’re anything like me, maybe you should go ahead and invest in a bigger Rubbermaid container now. Goal accomplished!
P.S. That is a lovely mitten.
There’s the cable crossing that I was noticing yesterday. Lovely mittens.
mildred…. more mildred!!!
Way cool mit.. Wish I could sit and knit all day, but alas people want thier yarn and just dont get that I want to knit!!
