I tried to put the captions with the pictures but Blogger wasn't cooperating. Oh well. Anyway, that's what I've been up to with my knitting. The Alison Scarf I started because I wanted to knit something different. It's a really short scarf but will keep my neck warm on days like today. It's 5 degrees at the moment. I got a ball of SWS from Meghan for Christmas with a Joann's gift card and wanted a quick but interesting pattern for that. The Manly Mitts were a bear to finish. I tried to modify the second mitten to center the thumb better and it screwed up the sizing. But I consider these practice mittens so no big deal. The blue and white mittens are my next foray into colorwork. I am VERY pleased with them. One of my knitting goals for 2007 was to work on my colorwork skills and I think I've come pretty far. I'm very proud of myself.
