End of 2018 Beginning of 2019

Wow, a year that zipped by faster than I would have imagined possible. 

I wrote almost nothing to share, knitted a lot, sewed a little, and probably produced more work than I have in a while.  There were mitered squares - I probably have enough for a quarter of a blanket and need to get on that little project again.  Because it is with scrap sock yarn though it will be a while before that one can be finished.

There were fingerless mittens, neck warmers, hats, and a Santa bag.

                              
Fingerless Mittens
These turned out to be quite popular.  Some people remarked that they could not see the point and that your fingers would be cold so they would never wear them. Others snapped them up like gold and wanted more.  Several who have purchased them asked me to please make them another pair or two.  It is a nice size project that I can take along where ever I go so I will continue to make them.  I wear full gloves under them sometimes but other times it is nice to be able to text, dial the phone or just be able to keep your hands warm while you work in a cooler area.  I even wear them when I knit if my hands are cold. 




Neck warmers, in all varieties, were a big hit too.

I really want to make some sweater jackets and thought I would knit something for me soon, but I have to finish three more pairs of fingerless mittens before I can work for me.  

Happy New Year, May you always be working on something you enjoy.
