I’m finally getting back to the pile of knitting books on my shelf! Most recently I read two books on mittens and gloves – both were very good in different ways. The first is not a new book. It was published originally in the US in 2011, so it has been around a while. For… Continue reading Knitter’s Bookshelf: Show of Hands
I started a new project this week – Reindeer Moss mittens from the new Field Guide from Modern Daily Knitting. Helene Magnusson, who I love, is the designer for this field guide, so I could not resist. I ordered the field guide and kits for these mittens and also the Reindeer Moss tam. I have… Continue reading Thursday ThWIPs
So close! I am a thumb tip away from being done with my Mom’s Christmas mittens. They fit her really well, are nice and thick and warm, and have turned out pretty OK 🙂 If all goes as planned, this time next week I will be back to Sock It To Me Monday with a… Continue reading Mitten Monday

I’m back to having three projects on the needles! First is my Drops cardigan, which I’m knitting out of yarn hand dyed by my friend Alissa of Headknits. I started this over the summer and then set it aside for some Halloween knitting. At this point, the back and fronts are done and I am… Continue reading Wednesday WIPs
Fist KISS mitten is done! I’m going to take a couple days to work on the other two WIPs a little bit, then casting on the second one sometime next week 🙂 Happy Friday!
I swear I will get back to Sock-it-to-Me Monday one of these days, though probably not until after the holidays. Until then I have an entirely self-imposed ton of mitts and mittens to make, preferably before Christmas. So here is my current mitt, just finished today… Bone-A-Fide mitt #1! This is from this year’s Jimmy… Continue reading Mitt Monday
