Cold Weekends Means A LOT of Knitting Gets Done

This weekend was snow and cold.   The two social events I had planned to go to were postponed.  That freed up a lot of time to knit....and I did.

The Candyland Mittens

The mittens are finally done.   When I checked on Ravelry, I saw these were started last January.  At least it took less than a year.
The first time I knit the thumb, it took me five or six tries to get it right.   The second mitten...I was ticked to get the thumb done in one try.

Most of the black yarn is used, but I have a lot of the white, grey, blue, and mauve-pink.  I am thinking about graphing a cap to match the socks.  It would not be too difficult and would be way better to do than putting the leftovers back in the pile.

This weekend I was also able to finish the set of four Ms. Claus Pointy Hats that I was doing for four young ladies that I know.  This is a fun and very fast pattern......but it did remind me that I really hat making pompoms......

Now that all of these projects are done, I am moving along to others...mostly for me.   The yarn for the hat that I wanted to make is somewhere in the knitting bags.   When I decided to knit something else until that surfaces in the stash again, I picked up a pair of socks that needed to be re-started.   And just to make things fun, I cast on an afghan...for me.
