First FO of 2006

Happy New Year!!!
First order of the new year is to finish off some WIPs from 2005.

I picked up the needles to finish the second Pumpkin Girl's mitten yesterday. It was the easiest of my WIPs to complete. So here it is.


Pumpkin Girl Mittens
Pattern: Ann Budd
Yarn: LB Wool-Ease in Forest Green Heather
Needles: DPNS in Size 5
(November 21 - January 1, 2006)

Pumpkin Girl gives her seal of approval.

Psst Sandy ... over here!

I keep reading about second sock syndrome. Is there such a thing as second mitt syndrome? I've been dragging my needles on this. However, since we're heading to colder weather for Turkey Day, he'll need his mittens ASAP.


The requests are coming in ... Pumpkin Girl wants green ones to match her new winter jacket and Hubby keeps saying "Where are my driving mitts?!?" I hope to make some Wrist Warmers for me if I can snag some Cash Iroha.

The matching cap was one of my earlier projects back in April/May.

One Warm Hand

If you're checking up on my Warm Hands progress, I think the picture speaks for itself. One mitten done, one to go.



I think the recipient is very pleased. Notice the other hand is cut off from the picture because it is still bare.
