A Little Progress
Hello and Happy Sunday.I haven't knitted yet this weekend (gasp).  I did, however, knit a little on Friday.  I finished the thumb of my Sea Mineral Mittens.  I sure like it.  I do confess to having second sock syndrome with the mittens.  There is an urge to want to finish these festive mittens for the holiday season.  They are pretty cheerful! 

Middle of November?
My oh my this month is flying by.  I have had a lot going on, but have made time for knitting here and there.  Unfortunately with so many WIPS (Works in Progress), I have no FO's (Finished Objects) to share.I can't believe it is less that two weeks until Thanksgiving here in the U.S.  I sure love this time of year with the leaves falling the cooler temps and the early sunset.  Makes it so comfy cozy.  I know a lot that don't like the business of it getting dark at 5 pm, but I do get tired of the long hot afternoon sun scorching and dehydrating everything.  By the end of October I am ready for a break.

Pretty, Blue, Fingerless Mittens
Details: Rowan pure wool / dk size 5 dpns Pattern:  Ravelry -  Cabled Fingerless Gloves by Kimberly Gintar. I used a different cable pattern for them.  I must say I really like the soft Rowan wool.  Blocking really does the trick to make them look great.  I am pretty sure I need a pair for me.  How about pink?I finished the left glove at knitting night.  I was a little cocky and just counted the cables.  I mean that should work.  I guess I must have had something "off" not to mention I was knitting the left glove tighter. Anyway.. right then and there I had to rip out the ribbing, pick up

Jack is in the House!
Happy Sunday.... I had a fun time today (Saturday) knitting up Jack.  My grandson really likes Jack so I thought I'd give it a shot.  I got the pattern on Ravelry.  After work I buzzed over to  my LYS and got some Encore Worsted yarn for this little project.  I have plenty left over for other projects.  I have a little penguin project that I have been wanting to make.  Also I picked up some bamboo wool yarn for something
