Are you tired of seeing mittens yet?
Here is yet another pair of mittens for my "Mitten Tree". This pair of mittens is from Weekend Knitting. They are a bulky pair made with two strands of worsted weight yarn. It is a nice pattern and great way to use up odds and end skeins. My wrists have been throbbing for the last two days. I think it is all the knitting with double pointed needles. I tend to hold tighter on the needles. I have been thinking of investing in 2 size four and 2 size six circulars. That way I can get away from the double points. I am going to rest my wrists a few more days. I can't afford to have my wrist act up when I cut hair for a living. It is a hairdressers worst fear. I bought Mostly Mittens on Ebay last night. It is a great book with some very interesting techniques. I had checked it out of the library the other week. Maybe after the holidays, I can play around with some of the patterns. I had also checked out "Weekend Knitting" from the library. Most of the books at my library are out of date. The selection leaves something to be desired. I am waiting for an interlibrary loan for the book "Magnificent Mittens". I would like to look through it before I purchase a copy. I guess that is all the news for now. Wish me luck with my wrists.
