Still feasting
but the famine will begin tomorrow. Both in food, knitting, and posting on the blog. I've been working on the clapotis redux (um... retrois?) almost non stop. can't stop knitting on it. I love the colors and the hand of this yarn. Initially, I was concerned about the thinness (i'm using US3s, which is for most ppl, a US2) but it's alpaca, and it's plenty warm. No pics, b/c I'm not smart enough to remember to take one in the midst of all the picture taking
The biggest news of the day... my mittens, hand knit by Celia came today!! They're my early b-day pressie from her. I love the color, I love the cable, and I love the fit!! I'm especially glad she did the thumb gusset on the side, b/c it feels unnatural (to me) for the gusset to be in the front.
aren't they purty??

Good, um, luck on the famine...
Wow, they are lovely!!!
Those look toasty! I bet you'll need them this winter :)
dude, when's your birthday? are you a december girl like me?
Those are pretty! Good luck with the re-entry. Vacation is nice - the return, not so much, usually.
Oh they are SO pretty!
Very nice!
Ooh, those are pretty. I bet they're warm, too.
Oh pretty mittens! I agree on the thumb gusset, but my husband is a firm believer in the front. It just doesn't feel right to me though.
Your hands will be toasty warm, that's for sure.
Very nice!!
they look awesome. lucky girl. lucky warm girl.
Happy Early birthday indeed! Very lovely gift from Celia. They look great. I'm with you on the famine . . .in many ways, but not blogging! :-)
I love how that cable travels the length of the scarf. it simple but great.
