As knitters, spinners, artists - we all know how beneficial dabbling in our chosen art form heals our tender souls. The greyness of daily living can leave one 'blah'.

I have been 'blah' of late. But, boy ... have I been knitting!

I have finished 2 hats for charity ... they will be sent to those in need in South Dakota. I will complete a few more items first ... 2 just isn't enough.

I did complete my second fair isle mitten. While as I was knitting - I purchased a Norwegian thimble. I love the way this baby holds 2 different yarns and keeps the tension nice and even. It worked so well, that mitten #2 was smaller than mitten #1. (It was completed in record time too .... all I can say is "thank goodness for blocking!")

You should get one too .... cheap $$ for a terrific invention!


Remember .... Inspire Art! Create Art! Buy Art! Be ART!! Comments, please!

I love that mitten! The colors are so happy, and you'll never lose that one in the snow. ;)

I am still so in love with those mittens. Prettiest mittens EVER, seriously!

What yarn did you use?

Love the mitten! Do you have a link/supplier for the pattern?

Dull days can be used for such great things. Looks like you are right on top of it!

Take care.
