Mitten Medley
The Team Drunken Knitters had an Olympic Opening Ceramony pub party last Friday. I managed to pick up my mittten pattern just before I got there. I was actually only swatching during the ceremonies. I did not cast on until Saturday. Several people had multiple Olympic projects. Definitely a lot of Hopeless Overcommittment. We watched the ceremonies on the pub widescreen TV. It was an amazing depiction of 3000 years of Chinese history. A lot of wire work was featured, tying Hong Kong in nicely, probably unintentionally.
The Druid Mittens are progressing well. I am very happy with the way the Noro colour changes look on the cuff pattern. Last night nina at creative Yarns showed me how to knit cables without a cable needle. This will be very useful for this mitten as it has multiple tiny cables per row. I need to start working on my WIP Wrestling.
I also just bought the Vogue Italia Black Issue. More about that next time.

Ooooh those are gorgeous! Noro makes everything prettier, doesn't it.
I am a case of Olympic under-commitment, as the mittens I started at the opening ceremonies were finished on tuesday. I've started another pair of colouwork mittens to make up for it.
Nice to see you blogging again! Those mitts are going to be lovely with the Noro!
WOW!! I just love the colors, just wow. I can't wait to see them completed.
RE Black vogue Italia, I like the fifth picture down as shown here.
