Hi Sandy! I did not see your email address for updates, so I am posting here (will keep looking!). I finished my basic blue mittens today, and I am ready to start another pair with more details...

I love the Hermione mittens you are doing, and everyone has such great projects going! Lots of ideas and patterns to check out.

Thanks, Sandy, for running this knit-along!

P. S. - My finished project can be seen in my blog entry today: http://hookedonknitting.blogspot.com/

I missed the deadline but thought I'd let the comments show that I have Estonian and Latvian mitten updates.

I knitted two more pair of fingerless mitts in merino, cashmere blends! Everybody loves these, and they are quick and easy to knit, now that I have the hang of the pattern!

What a list! Must be really hard to keep track on the many knitters. It is even hard to browse through them all. Wonderful projects! I have one pair of "warm hands" done that somehow never really was in progress. http://sheepandnocity.blogspot.com/2005/11/glottens.html

I'm in the groove, more mitt pics are up! And more to come soon! I'm almost to the top of a pair of mittens from Folk Knitting in Estonia....this is so exciting!!

Wow, so many amazing mittens! Hope everyone has a safe Thanksgiving!
I've nearly got the first of my cabled mittens finished.
Thanks, Sandy, for organizing all of the inspiration!

I just posted my finished mittens. I am planning my second pair, maybe cables. I am really enjoying looking at everyone's projects. Thanks again Sandy for organizing this KAL.

Oh, I just love looking at everyone's mittens. Such inspiration!!

I have finished a pair of Bulky-Weight Andean Mitts from "Folk Mitts" (pic on my blog) and have a second pair almost done. Then, (can you tell I'm using up bulky stash?), I'll be starting a pair of Salish Mittens from the same book.
