And just like that, the Reindeer Moss mittens are done! They turned out a little long, so I threw them in the dryer for a few minutes after I soaked them for blocking, and that did the trick. This pair is more my Mom’s colors than mine. But I think there is enough left of… Continue reading Mitten Monday
My Mom’s Latvian Christmas mittens are done! They took a while to finish, but I am happy with how they turned out. Mom is too – right after I wove in the last end, she put them on and walked away with them.

The first Mom mitten is underway, but these will certainly not be finished by this weekend. So I will have to either be… Continue reading Wednesday WIPs
With my Halloween Cats sweater done, I’m focusing on two smaller projects before jumping back to a bigger one. The first is a pair of Latvian mittens for my Mom for Christmas.
