Mittens, Anyone???

I just finished up these cute mittens for Ethan. I used a pattern from the book Adorable Knits for Tots by Zoe Mellor. They turned out really well, but Ethan wanted nothing to do with them until I put the braided cord on them. Then he decided he liked them too. He likes anything with a cord. I made the size 1-2 years but they are almost too small.....guess I'll go up a size and the worst that could happen would be that they would fit Elisabeth.

I love a quick knit. I have another item on the needles that has been there about two weeks. I am very anxious to get it completed and to start something else. I usually have two or three knitting projects lined up....but as of right now, I'm not sure what my next project will be. Maybe I need to run out to the yarn shop and get some sock yarn. I checked out a great sock book from the library last week.

I have been sewing a little each day...but the work on this double Irish chain quilt seems to be moving slowly. I did get my block of the month for this month completed though. I usually wait until the night before it needs to be completed.....so I'd say I'm starting the year off right!
