Just had to share...
I know I haven't posted in awhile, but reading break is coming up so I can pay this some attention soon. Anyway, I just wanted to reveal my newest FO: mittens. Kind of anticlimactic seeing as we saw sun for the first time in 2006 this week, which means that mittens won't be useful for much longer. But they are quite cuddly, and I'm considering wearing them as tea-drinking mittens or something, sort of like slippers for my hands. They are from Just Jussi's pattern, and I used Noro Silkgarden number 130. Fabulous. I thought for awhile that they would look hopelessly mismatched, but I sort of like how the brown and darkish parts match, and then there is an orange tip and thumb on one and a green tip and thumb on the other. Nifty! I wish I could say I had created this effect on purpose, but I'm just happy to be here. They're beautiful! And they're finished! And they're usable! Or at least, they will be in about ten months. Sigh.
So, not the best lighting, but my first posted picture of a finished object (or pair of objects). Huzzah!
Still working on that IK shrug; it's bigger every day but getting
h e a v y
on the needles. And waiting for my yarn store to get more white in so I can finish my scarf. Yes, another item that won't be useful for another ten months. But it's the finished project that counts!That's all for now.
Cheers!

thanks for dropping by and letting me know you had finished these, they are gorgeous, thats the cool thing about Noro, they don't "match" but they look right together.
