I've been away from this space for so long! An awful cold ran through our house, followed by a nasty stomach bug, topped off by a beautiful babe who doesn't like to sleep anymore. So time for knitting and blogging has diminished. Today I finally finished these sweet little mitts, realized yarn-along is tomorrow and thought maybe I could just slap a photo up here real quick. After knitting one in the smallest size and realizing it would be too big for the 6 year old they'll be gifted to, I sized it down by subtracting 4 stitches from the whole pattern. I think they'll work out well now. The yarn is Wisdom Yarns--Poems. I used a twisted 1x1 rib for the cuff rather than regular 2x2.
I've been reading a great book recommended by a librarian (happy to have it around for that run in with the stomach bug!) called Caleb's Crossing, by Geraldine Brooks. It's a historical fiction novel set in the early American colonies, about the first Native American graduate from Harvard college.
Joining in with Ginny's yarn along...
