A Note to my Cold Fingers

You will be warm this winter. Otherwise I think I might have to cut you off and donate you to a warmer climate. The other option is that I use this tutorial and make you some sweet arm warmers. The theory being that if my arms are warmer all ten of you will be as well.

Flikr Find

This makes me happy! I recently joined Ravelry and I've been perusing the patterns online for a couple hours. Tonight, I found Nandi108 (who also happens to have a Flikr account which ya'll can see). Either she, or someone she knows has knitted her up a pair of wicked-orange fingerless mittens which she is CLEARLY rocking.

Thank you internets.

Mitties

I finally finished my mittens!

Oh lobster mix, you look so lovely nestled into the overgown grass that is my back yard...

Springtime!

Mr. Piggie has some blossom friends.
Remember that mitten I was making with that yarn I wasn't going to buy but did anyway? Well here's the first one, made with 100% lobster mix. I'm figuring out that it's hella difficult to take pictures of clothing or things you wear. I'm used to my little stuffed friends where I can stick them in the grass, walk away a few feet, snap a picture and be done. But I felt like a dork standing in my front yard taking pictures of my hand. Here it is, finished in all its glory. I think I might embroider a flower or something on it. I still have to finish the second one. I think I might be in love with this yarn though. 50% wool and 50% alpaca it feels like heaven. I think I'll sell these though, if I can find someone with hands as small as mine.

P.S. this is the first pattern (wearable pattern, that is) that I've made up completely on my own! Go me.
