10.17.2005 :: Warm Hands
There is a Peaceful Palms knitalong for gloves. It's time to start up a mitten one too. Join one. Join them all!
There are rules, of course:
1. Knit mittens
2. knit them now
3. or later
4. just knit them
5. You must finish them
6. Or not. Your call
7. Share your progress with me
8. I know that Tuesday is Knitalong day in some worlds, but here it will be MItten Monday. Sunday would be a good day to email me with updates.
9. Be happy and have warm hands!
What do you think? You wanna?
~~~
Need a Warm Hands button. Got one?

Sign me up. I just finished spinning some funky yarn that is just screaming to be mittens. I'm just starting them based on Ann Budd's Grand Plan Mitten pattern.

Posted by: laurie on 10.20.2005 AT 04:04 PM
Please sign me up if you've got room, Sandy! I knit a few pair last winter and loved it -- this is just the kick I need to start it up again. Thanks.
