I finished the Roadhouse Mitts. They turned out nice, though don’t they look stupid not worn? All squished up and hinky.
Anyway, despite that, they fit great and I’m really pleased with them.
STATS: Franklin Sock Yarn from Webs in a mystery colorway dyed by the Kangaroo dyer. The color is better in these pictures, but I think my camera is having fits with darker tones in the red range. Yikes. They are really nice in real life.
THE PATTERN: Bluebell rib from Sensational Knitted Socks by Charlene Schurch over 56 stitches. Rib at edges is K3 P1 K1 P1 and K1 P1 on the thumb. I probably won’t write a pattern for them because I don’t know how to explain what I did. (“Like, knit in pattern, then make a thumb! then like stop and augh!”) Meh.
The yarn is extremely generous in yardage, so I think I will probably have enough for a pair of socks even after knitting these, which didn’t really take up that much. They’re only about 7 inches in length.
I don’t think I’m done making mitts – which is good, since I want to make gloves and mittens too.

I went and saw Twilight today with Malvina, and it was hilarious. Much like I found the books to be like delicious literary CRACK, the movie was more of the same, with slo-mo significant glances and fog machine action and yes, sparkly vampires (complete with “sparkle” sound effects!). Anyway, my review is as follows:
LOL+!!!
