Mitten Monday, October 16, 2006 edition!

The weather in my corner of the world is blustery and very cool. Perfect Mitten weather! Here's some wonderful mitten progress! Have fun perusing!
~~~~
~Meg finished one beautiful mitten that is a gift for her sister along with knitting lessons to finish the second mitten! Great idea, Meg!
~Maud has so many wonderful mittens in progress, you have to go see for yourself! Very inspiring, Maud! No ones cold hands are safe in Maud's presence!
~Paula is all but finished a pair of mission falls advika mittens! They look great! She also reminded me that I have one almost finished advika mitten around here somewhere. She's got some great morning glories too. Not that those would keep anyone's hands warm, but they are easy on the eyes!
~Elizabeth has finished a pair of mittens for her daughter and is in the process of picking out a pattern for her husband's pair. Pictures to follow!
~Blogless Elizabeth Durand (at least I assume you are blogless as well as photoless, right Elizabeth?) finished 2 pairs of mittens even before she knew that she was joining in our knitalong! Great job, with the ESP! She finished One pair a sort of lichen green handspun, going to Afghans for Afghans. Another pair, oatmeal colored Bartlett-type wool with spruce green ljus [as the parent of a grade-schooler, I refuse to say lice!], going to the Irish Ewe’s Mitten Fence, in Norway, Maine. I'd like to know more about the mitten fence, Elizabeth~
~Cathy had a bit of trouble settling in on a pattern until she decided to go with the tried and true basic mitten. Nothing basic about warm hands! She also finished a pair of felted mittens!
~Whitney finished Estonian Inspired mitten number 1. One warm hand. I got a bit woozy when I clicked on Whitney's blog. Be sure to check out that picture. This would mark the first time in my life that I wish I were on the NATO summit planning team.
~Suz has one finished mitten and one in the works. Great colors! I tried to upload the picture here, but for some reason it is being shy. It does not want to be here in front of everyone. Go ahead to her blog and see it!
~Pat has finished a great looking pair of Rainbow Mittens! Very Colorful! Very Warm looking! and Very inspiring, I'm sure you'll agree! Pat's hands sure do look warm!
~Rebecca has made a good start on the Nordic Mittens from Interweave knits. Which looks very familiar to me! Extra blog points to those that recognize why! Warm hands on the way for Rebecca!
~Lisa has started a pair of Knitting Pure and Simple Super Bulky mittens with some Rowan Biggy Print! Super, indeed! That will be some warm hands for teachers!
~And ME! I knit some Fetching handwarmers.

These are great for the computer cold hands.
