So, I started some fingerless mittens that I will make for xmas presents for my girly-girl friends & family. Here’s a picture of the first cuff. It took me about 6 tries to get the flow of the leaf pattern, but once I got it, it was a breeze. And the progress went so fast. I’ve been too afraid to pick up the sweater again until I have a chance to be fully awake, without any distractions so that I can avoid making mistakes again.

Also, if any of you are into quilting, my friend Marisa at QuiltOkatu is giving away a free spot in an online quilting class that her friend puts together. If you leave a comment on her blog, you might win!
