That list of WIPs I wanted to finish before the end of 2012? I should really stop pretending. I’m considering abandoning the idea that I
will ever finish any knitting project again.
Ever. That is, any project that
is not a smitten. I’m having no problem finishing smittens.
The pattern is aptly titled—I am completely smitten with the
smittens. My WIPs? Haven’t touched them. Holiday gift knitting? Not happening.
It’s all about the smittens. It all started earlier this week when I
stumbled across pictures of handspun smittens on Ravelry. I imagined
a garland of adorable mini-mittens hung up on my fireplace mantle, rejoiced at
the idea of using handspun leftovers and single skeins, and it was all
over. I started knitting a smitten Tuesday
night and haven’t stopped since.
3 days, 6 mittens (I finished another after taking the above picture). I originally figured I
would knit 2 per month so as to have 24 by the 2013 holiday season. It looks like that might have been too modest
of a plan. At this rate, I could have 24
finished by the end of next weekend and have a garland in time for this holiday
season. Too bad my fireplace is in
pieces, and I don’t actually have a mantle at the moment. Mike has agreed that if the fireplace isn't fixed by
next year, I get to strangle him with the smitten garland.

Cute!
ReplyDeleteI think I have 9 of these little guys. They've been hanging out in a bag since I started working on them when the pattern first came out...
I did some really cute ones though, with little bits of fair isle...
But I learned that I'm not the kind of person who can make the same thing 24 times. lol
They are so cute! A garland will look so nice next year. I wish you a crafty weekend. Regula
ReplyDeleteNow you've done it, I must knit some for my tree!!! I have way too many scarps left with no idea what to do with them. Now I have a plan. Goof thing I don't have any Christmas knitting to do. Those are adorable!
ReplyDeleteHappy to spread the addiction! And yeah, I thought I was just going to knit one or two for the tree at first too. Just wait...
