I haven’t been updating alot because I’ve been boring knitting. It’s all for a good cause, but that doesn’t make it any more exciting! I’m up to 5 pairs of mittens and 4 hats for the Dulaan Project so far, with another pair of mittens on the needles.
But I must admit it’s starting to get a little boring now.
To try and beat the boredom I decided to knit something quick for myself.
Late last year I bought a single, lonely skien of Noro Silk Garden, but I had no idea what to make with it, so it’s been sitting around doing nothing for a few months. Then I saw Wendy’s Fingerless Mitts pattern.
Voila! I love them! I love Silk Garden! Now Em wants a pair. Of course.
It’s wet and rainy here today.
It’s actually a nice change from the heat, and we need the rain. Twinkie, however is unimpressed.
No going outside to play today!
I’m always tempted to buy just one or two balls of a new yarn just to play with it. But I’m project driven and try not to buy any yarn unless I have a project in mind. If not, I try to buy enough for a sweater or something. I do have one or two balls left over from projects. And I have no idea what to do with it!
Your mitts look wonderful! I think I have some single skeins of Noro Silk Garden and Kureyon. I think I know what everyone is getting for Christmas next year . . .
