Could it be August already and I haven't blogged?

What is wrong with me?

Look what I did! I made a pair of Maine Morning Mitts with my very own handspun yarn! And I luv them lots!

Still working on my second sock.... and the February Lady Sweater, which is now gathering dust. But I musn't let it! I must finish something besides a sock this month.

Tell the truth I am getting a little sick of socks...

Great color! Sick of socks? Is it possible?!?!?

Don't you love those mitts! Yours look great, love the color, and how cool it is your handspun.

I went on a big sock binge when I first learned how to do them. I probably knit 5 pairs up.... and this pair I'm working on now has sat for about a month now because I'm bored with it. It doesn't help that I don't like the yarn I'm using to knit them up, either.

And the mitts are adorable! I'm still learning how to spin on my drop spindle so I'm hoping I can get a little better at it enough to have good yarn to knit something up like that!

Hi Beth,

I'm glad to see you back. Summer can make us wander.

Yes, it is true you can get sick of socks for a little while. And even knitting can get boring. But it never goes away. And it comes back with a renewed robustness. Everyone needs a vacation from the everyday things.

We don't just look for you to be knitting.

Let me know how the sweater is going. I have the same one on my needles now also.

Sincerely, Lady Euphoria

Those mitts are amazing - the color is so vibrant and beautiful.

Wow - you are so fast to have that knit up already! They are terrific and cheerful! I'm itching to start my Holiday Project yarn - got it all spun up and washed. Now to find the perfect pattern... I'm getting a bit sick of socks too.

I've been on a binge with this pattern, too! I started with a pair for my 15 yro daughter using a hand painted back/neon green yarn and got addicted to the pattern. My next two pairs were done in Noro Kureyon, and now I'm making a pair using up some odds and ends for a fun mismatched stripy pattern. I was thinking of making some Calorimetry's to match and give as gifts.
