Ain’t that the truth—stranded color work is NOT my fav, but I’m LOVING my new mitts! Now I just have to wait until I’m somewhere cold enough to justify using them. I ended up adjusting that pattern so the mitts came up higher on the fingers and thumbs; what’s the point of all that warmth if your fingers are chilly?
My big goal this week was to finish those mitts, but I did get some work in on some other projects. After three starts, two to play with cast on numbers, and one because I’m an idiot and twisted the collar while doing the short rows, I finally have made appreciable progress on my Bluebells Cardigan from the latest issue of Jane Austin Knits.
I also got two more cable repeats in on my Nelderoth socks—still loving them! So glad that I bought this yarn which totally didn’t work with what I had planned for it to go with…
Other than that, I spent a weekend fighting off strep with sleep, The Scarlet Pimpernel, and lots and lots of honey and lemon tea. Thankfully the antibiotics are kicking in and I'm feeling better; hopefully the fevers are gone, and I'll be up to full speed in the next day or so while this clears up.
Parting shot: Now I want to go gather rocks and play with them...
