Glovely stuff

Ah, after only a little solicitation of cyber-karma, two phone calls to Mother, and staying up to a ridiculously late hour, I have completed [the knitting part]{of one half of} my first Not-A-Scarf Knitting Project!  I wasn't sure what most of the instructions meant but I figured it out.  After a LOT of ripping.  I also didn't count the rows in the rib so well so I think it's longer than it should be, but that's ok as long as I match the next one.  The cast off is little tight, I will make it looser for the left mitt.  Just have to do the second one, sew them up, and put the ribbon through... but when I say that it makes it sound like a lot!  Today I have to complete a freelance job that's hanging over my head so that I can get back to knitting...

Inexplicably my feet were really cold last night when i was curled up on the sofa.  Then the mog came and placed her little paws on my iceblocks and warmed them up.  Awwwww.

Hey that looks great. And the colour is beautiful too.

Thanks girls! I also bought some mossy green Louisa Harding, I think it might become one of the hats in her book (if I got enough - can't see me managing to match dyelots in John Lewis after a week has elapsed...)

Oh hurrah! Congrats on finishing the first piece. It looks lovely and very cozy.

And you can hear your kitty purring from here! So sweet of her to warm your feet. Looks like you next knitting project should be a pair of socks!

Thank you lovely Leslie - you know, I was at my first SNB the other day and two people were knitting socks, and I said that I couldn't imagine anything more terrifying. Now however I am filled with fizz for knitting and who knows what I'll attempt next! (sewing them up would be an idea...)
