08.14.2005 :: Off the cuff
~Warning: colors are not as blaring as they seem under flash circumstance. Consider yourself warned~ The beginnings of Liidia's gloves from Folk Knitting in Estonia. Since I do not wear gloves, I do believe I will make them into _______________. Fill in the blank.
I wonder what it could be?
I remember stating instead of having a summer of lace (which I dabbled in) that I would be having a summer of socks. BULLTICKY! This has been my own personal SUMMER OF THE MITTEN.
I have a couple more pairs in the brain stage.
Can a girl have too many?
Can she?

I don't think the colors are at all garish or blaring. But then again, I like red a LOT.
Of course you can't have too many mittens. Not up in cold New England.

You can never have too many mittens. Especially ones that look like that!

Well, if you're like most people you'll loose one and will need another pair. You just might want one with every outfit you wear, too;-)

Ok, Miss Sandy...
You are totally inspiring me to finish that seond Estonian Mitten: Marko's Mittens! I feel like I just want to knit one of each from that book because they're almost like little works of art!
So, no, you definitely cannot have too may. :-)

There is no such thing as too many mittens. :-) Provided they all have mates, that is...
So did you order a kit from the Wooly West? Or are you just winging it with stash yarn?

You may wish to ask this question again in January.

This has been the summer of sweaters for me! Whatever makes you happy - your new pair look great!

You are the mitten queen! :)
I think I may have to get that book, quickly!

Looks like a great start. Why don't you like wearing gloves?
