Back from the post office
Hello all: the 1st really snuck up on me...I finished 2 pairs of mittens using Elizabeth's pattern (so easy and fast...thanks for sharing) and was stuggling to finish a medium sized sweater...that I dropped down to a vest...and now is not going to be finished in time. These were my Ravelypic projects, but, life happens. I'll have the vest for the next project. It is almost done.
No photos, because I didn't get that done either and really wanted them in the mail today. So, the mittens were a 2 strange fisherman wool...they are very warm...and this very large pair of orange solid and variagated yarn with hot pink, orange, blue...fun, but alas, no photo.
I so enjoy doing this and seeing everyone's photos. Next time! Can't wait for the next campaign! Good luck to all the packers...I would be there if I could. Sally

Bunny (+ Noro) Mittems

I envy the people with so much knitting time! Here is the latest item I have finished - a pair of
mittens. The base is Tahki Bunny, I had just one ball and tried fingerless mitts to see how I like them. I think my hands are too small to enjoy them as most of my fingers are still on the cold steering wheel. So I unpicked the bind-off, took out the ribbing, and finished each one with some leftover Kochoran (I think, maybe it was Transitions) from another A4A item, and finished the thumbs as well. These are SO soft!
I have one of the superchunky sweaters OTN, using multiple strands of yarn to reach gauge. Very slow going but I hope to get a bunch done on Sunday and get these in the mail along with the other mittens and vest already finished. I am on the yoke of the sweater - wish me luck!
