The weather has been heating up here lately, much to my dismay. If ever there was a person who loathed hot weather, it is me. Where is my delicious fall weather? Why isn’t it in the 50s and 60s? I mean, my air conditioner is on right now. It’s probably about 85 out there. You know how people get seasonal depression in the winter due to lack of sun and vitamin D? I get that in the summer due to too much sun and lack of layers to be worn. I’m definitely a homebody who likes to cozy up under a grey sky. Sheesh.
Anyway, so despite all that, I did go to the reservoir this morning with my dad for some sun and fresh air. So, points for me!
I actually finished a long languishing project:
Yep, those are my King George mitts, knit in Malabrigo sock (love. it.) over a period of something like a year. Oy vey, self! Once I cracked down and remembered what the eff I was doing, it only took about two evening in front of the TV to finish up the second mitt.
They feature a turned hem, the King Charles Brocade lace panel from the Harmony guides lace book, a thumb gusset and 1×1 ribbing on the thumb and finger openings. I was thinking of writing up a pattern for them, but they actually need some work because the panel isn’t quite centered and I had forgotten what I did in the length of time between mitt #1 and mitt #2, and frankly I’m pretty sick of them so I don’t think it’s going to happen.
Aside from being so tired of them, I do like how they turned out – that Malabrigo sock sure is great, as though we all needed any reminding about that one.
Next up: I have Wollmeise in my hot little hands for the very first time!
