I'm in the home stretch for February, almost done with the month and almost 30! I finished my mitten today and started working on the lining. The olympics are more than half done but my project is less than half finished. Oh well, that is what the Olympics are all about, right? Pushing yourself further than you thought you could go. Although since I am a mother of two I can't control the amount of time I get to devote to my project, not sure I can crank out that other mitten by Sunday. It's amazing the first one is finished. Maybe I can just wear this one and then put the other hand in my pocket. Maybe I will put this mitten in a frame and hang it on the wall.
Some other women at the knitting shop are working on these as well. We are all concerned about losing one or both of our handmade mittens. How many times have you lost a mitten or glove? I think if I do finish the other mitten I am going to sew them onto a shirt. Then whenever I want to wear them I will wear the shirt with the mittens sewn on, thus removing the risk of losing them.
In the world of children.....
I left the baby on a nice blanket while I went into the other room. I came back less than 2 minutes later to find them both watching TV.

That mitten is incredible! Well done, daughter. So did Jack roll over to the tv or did Big Sister assist?
Love the mitten!
That picture is so cute! I can't believe that he is rolling already!? Where is time going?
I'm running out of time to file my taxes during the Olympics, so maybe I'll just do some crafts instead. In the joyful art of procrastination, I have read 7 books of 400+ pages during the games. My house is a wreck.
He's not rolling, Lilly dragged him by his feet over to the TV. :) Angel - that is great about the books, hope they are good ones!
Your mitten is sooooo awesome! Like I'm TOTALLY impressed...and in awe...and your idea about the shirt/mitten combo...BRILLIANT!!! And I would like to see that actually happen, because it is hilarious. Love the picture of the kids too!! So what are you doing for your BIRTHDAY????
I can't stop laughing at the thought of Miss Lilly dragging him by his feet!
