I did not follow the plan at all this weekend.  But instead finished the second pink/purple mitten, and the first pink camo mitten.  I decided that I don’t have enough yarn to complete the second camo mitten, so I started on the blue snowflake mitten.  I’m already up to the finger opening.  I really like this pattern.  Very easy to read and follow.  I’ve been fiddling with increases and so far like the kfb (knit through front and back loops).  It looks the neatest and doesn’t leave holes like the yarnovers.  I’m planning on duplicate stitching the snowflake on, but I’ll wait till I have both mittens so I have a better chance of them being the same.  If I have enough time I’ll do the same only opposite – white mitten with a blue snowflake.   

The Central Park Hoodie is now available in plus size.  I’m psyched.  Finally a sweater I can get behind.  I really want to spin my own yarn for this sweater.  I think it would be a huge accomplishment.  But, first I will need to purchase my own wheel. 

I keep thinking that due to the wicked smallness of my turn-of-the-century saltbox, I’m going to need a small portable wheel.  I’m due a 150 reimbursement in January.  With that and my year end bonus from work I should be able to get the Schacht Ladybug.  It’s wicked cute.  Plus the plastic composite wheel is awesome since New England is known for warping wood with it’s temperature and humidity extremes.
