Made it!

0 Days left - Finished mitten count - 14 pairs. 3 for family members and 11 for others.

Month of Knittin' Mittens has come to an end. I will admit it. Towards the end I slowed down. It was the thumbs - all 28 little dinky thumbs. My last mitten I strung out over 3 days. Even using the magic loop method, the short rows of knitting, turning, knitting... bleh. But the body portions were fun to knit. It was similar to knitting socks. So here they are 11 charity mittens knitted with superwash worsted weight scrap yarn on #3 needles.

I am done. Did I mention that I am done? finished? Any kid/husband claiming they need mittens/gloves can go buy their own for the rest of this season.

Mo is a Harry Potter nut. She and her friends have read the entire series many times and are still reading the series. A while back Mo knitted a very long Gryffidor scarf. She is currently knitting a Ravenclaw Scarf for her friend by the next movie release. Meanwhile I took her left over yarn and made her matching glittens. I didn't get a chance to wash and block them. Heck, I was lucky to get a photo taken before Mo ran off with them.

Knittin' Mittens Month continues

20 Days left - Current finished mitten count - 4 pairs. 2 for family members and 2 for others.

While Michigan still is having lovely warm weather I will show you a recent finished object. I made a Savta’s Shell Pattern Afghan for our family. As you can see I need wash/block this, at that point it will be softer. But for now we haven't needed it, though I hear that we will probably be fighting each other for it by the end of the week.

I have knitted a few charity mittens. While knitting Son indicated that he needed mitten/gloves. I knitted them up pretty quickly (despite having big man hands). If he doesn't like them I want them back for me. Ram-niss tried them on before we shipped them and declared that he wanted them if Son didn't want them. Guess I will be knitting another pair.

So for my Month of Knittin' Mittens - I have these done with a few more waiting in the wings.

Mo handed me her left over yarn from her Harry Potter scarf so I could knit her a pair of glittens to match. Fortunately unlike her brother's pair hers will be much smaller.

Will it be Knittin' Mittens Month and a Half???? Stay tune. Whoooo Hooo!

*Please pay no attention to the little flecks of red on the black glittens! I was in a hurry to wash them so I can get them in the mail to my son up at Michigan Tech. i thought I was being clever by washing a few other sweaters with the mittens. Guess what color the sweaters are? :-)
