Mitten time was overtaken by Mack time yesterday. My nephew came to town (with his mom) for an impromptu visit — it’s my stepdad’s birthday tomorrow — they’ll be here next weekend, too, for Michael’s birthday celebration! Can never get enough Mack. Or Michael. Or celebrations. Mmm, cake. ; )
Look how close I am to finishing! It was getting to be a tiny, tight circumference and a little frustrating with all those needles — not mixing well with being a little bit tired and not in my favorite spot (which had been overtaken by Maddy & friends). I will definitely finish and move on to thumbs today, though… but look at how much of the dark green yarn I have left! I may end up frogging my little swatch to reclaim enough yarn to finish.
If you have not been over to the Knit Like A Latvian blog in the last couple of days, go now, I’ll wait. Nessa Z. has finished her mittens and they are GORGEOUS!! I have another black-and-white mitten from Willi in Berlin that I will post there soon. So interesting — it looks like she did a little entrelac for the cuff!
Speaking of entrelac, that reminds me of Kathryn Alexander… who I actually met in person (couldn’t keep my eyes off that amazing hat, so I photographed it) (oh, how I wish I was a hat person!!)… she wrote that she has new/more hat kits… THE hat… on her updated website. Oh, I love that vest, too… and socks coming soon! ; )

woo-hoo. Almost finished. 🙂
those mittens are amazing!
You’re so close! Hurry up or it will be too warm to wear them!
They are so pretty, Vicki. This week, I will begin my mittens…or perhaps even tonight. I’m very excited.
I’m holding my breath until you finish!
Almost there!
I am so impressed, and looking forward to a debut very soon. I know I could do this if I tried, but you came, you saw and now you have conquered… my hero!
