Fair-isle Fingerless Mitts Get Fingers

I mentioned earlier in the week that I have been working on a fair isle project.

It is a project for a gift that was completely finished in June 2011. I followed the pattern exactly.

 (There are three because of a gauge error.  The first one was practice)
The pattern is great but my friend here has small hands and they trumpet out. Plus she mentioned that it would be great if they had convertible mitten tops.  So, I stole them back, frogged out the top, re-knit the ribbing and then picked up the stitches on the back and knit up the top.





Then I will do the second. It is lots of fun because I had to make my own choices on lots of it. No pattern to follow. :-)

Rock Creek Yarn Giveaway

One of my favorite yarn companies is having a give away. 

Baby won!

Little Miss Mermaid decided that her due date was not coming soon enough, so she came on the 19th. She is perfect.

Where is my blanket, Auntie Katie?

Her blanket is not yet done. Section 13 of 15 is almost finished. I hope to have it done before she is a week old. Can you see the starfish shape?
