My yarn for mittens hasn't come yet, still waiting impatiently :P. But I did find my missing yarn for my mom's gifts. YIPPIE!!! It was in the one place I didn't think I would stick it, of course. Now all that stuff is back on the list, but I have something knit already for her for the holidays themselves so I'll be happy if I get stuff done before the season is over.
Now I promised you some pictures so here we go:

And a little view of Miss Ruby's gift:
Beautiful mittens! I'm such a fair isle wimp. Thanks for your comments on my cable Hug--I'd love to see your version when you finish it. I definitely think it'd adapt well to knitting in the round. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteThe mittens turned out beautifully and you whipped them out so fast.
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear you found the yarn. I have yarn stashed all over my house and have had similar problems of missing yarn.
The mittens are really gorgeous!
