Yankee Knitter Designs Mittens
Another finished project--Just in time for our 100 degree weather. Ok. So it is a bit early for mittens, but my child has outgrown her favorite pair of Lion Mittens purchased at a church bazaar sale in Denmark.These are made from the Yankee Knitter Designs Mitten Pattern, size child medium. I used Classic Elite Bazic Yarn (superwash).

Lutea Lace-Shoulder Shell
A currently completed project! Wow. This is the Lutea Lace-Shoulder Shell from the Summer 2007 Interweave Knits.
I need a quick summer cotton project and had a bunch of Mission Falls Cotton sitting in the stash that needed to be used. It was a fun project, as it had the little lacey bits on top and short rows for shaping. My only problem was that the short rows hit my bust too high. If I had been paying more attention, I would have dropped them lower. But, still a good fit overall.
This can go through the wash machine and will probably shrink a tiny bit, which can't hurt. Here's the back with the small person who had to get in the picture.

Small Person Birthday!
Look what happens when you turn 5.
Art Yarns Socks
I'm behind in my postings--by about 3 projects. Must take pictures....
It has been a crazy summer, but knitting has occurred. I picked up this yarn at a small shop in Dover, NH when visiting my Mom. I had never worked with Art Yarns before, but the yarn is yummy soft and doesn't seem to do much pooling. This was a quick knit from Knitty--Thuja
. I finished these during a conference in June, and they received much attention.
