So many goings on

A little sunshine today brought out my desire for photo-taking.

Here are the finished Nordic mittens. I love them! They were quite bumpy due to my limited experience with fair isle knitting. They smoothed out quite a bit during the first few wears. Maybe more if/when I block them.

Here's pink and pink!


I've started two new projects:

One is the Miralda Shawl from Knitted Lace of Estonia. I'm making it of yarn I bought in Tallinn, Estonia last year. I couldn't read the ball band - in Estonian and all - so I e-mailed a copy to Nancy Bush. She e-mailed me back!!!! I love knitters and the sharing spirit.
I love the way it is transitioning from tan to off-white to pink. I love the long colorways.


The other new project is the cover project on the latest Interweave Knits in Brown Sheep Cotton Fleece in Malibu Blue. I'm between pattern sizes - based on my experience with gauge, I'm hoping it comes out perfectly sized. I've got pretty good odds.


P.S. Good luck to my favorite runner taking on the National Marathon this weekend. Goooooo Robert!
