Fetching Mitts Again

 

Over the past week or so I've knitted up two pairs of fetching mitts to be gifted to family members. Now I am finally done with gift knitting unless I change my mind again. This pattern is an old favorite of mine that I rely on often. It's a mitt that fits any adult hand and the pattern is easily memorized.

Now I'm working on gifts for me - I am mulling over some simple knitted holiday ornaments but so far it's in my imagination.

What are you working on this week?

    I'm still knitting socks! Of course. But dreaming of other things...and Kat posted a link to a new mitt pattern (free!!) that I was not aware of: Hermione's Everyday Mitts. I love the Hermione's Everyday Sock pattern, so I'm thinking of trying the mitts.

    The Fetching Mitts look, well, very fetching. Every time I gift a pair of fingerless mitts, the recipients enjoy them. I have had several people says, "I've never had any and they are so nice and warm." I'm working on Jonah's red scarf and dreaming of projects that might use handspun.

    I finished a special sweater last weekend and my knitting this week has been off so I finally cast on a simple hat. I guess I needed a breather. Love those mitts

    Your mitts are gorgeous. I too have mitts on the needles along with a sock and a jumper. The mitts are taking priority at the moment as it has gotten so very cold here.

My weekend happily contained: -wearing the above woolens all at the same time without being hot -so many walks and taking in the changing leaves. -a leaf shower on Saturday-the wind swirled the leaves off the trees up in the air to float down -changing screen savers to autumn themes! -a craft fair where my husband and I say "we could make that", but we don't. -french fries at the craft fair -scrambled eggs and toast for dinner because we were lazy. -football season has descended in my house. he was in the front room watching whatever is on today -I sat in the family room and watched A Tree Grows in Brooklyn .   Now I want to read it again. -Oh! I finished the socks!! So I wound up about six skeins of yarn and have three projects ready -started a cowl for me in fall colors (I hope to finish before fall ends) -enjoying Spirits of Joy .  Hannah graciously had a one day free sign up for her birthday at the end of September which I luckily saw on Twitter.  Than

  Good morning to you! How are you? I'm excited about my hat that I've been knitting enjoying the sea of stockinette stitches. When I first started the hat I thought it would be too small, now I wonder if it will be too big. Gah. I will find out soon I guess. I wish the photo about showed how beautiful the colors are in real life, you'll have to trust me on this! Below is my next knitting project, the habitation throw . I will definitely use the pink and gray, I'm still not sure about that purple, I might have a look-see in my stash and do another ponder about that color. I chose this pattern because I can use up some of my stash and I adore Helen Stewart's patterns. What are you working on this week? Also: I will probably not be posting this Friday and the following Monday because of my family visiting. I hope to be back next Wednesday (unless I change my mind).
