Craft On: We Have a Winner!!!
Basbousa is coming along well, and I hope to have this sweet set ready for beta knitting by Valentine's Day. That is probably a foolish hope, but I am an eternal optimist. I wanted to imply the hearts and romance, but still create a mitten a man would wear. What do you think? Am I succeeding?
This little mitten has been started, re-started, ripped back and corrected about seven times, and it is finally doing what I want, both mathematically and aesthetically. That is a success, at least.
We finished Little Men and are starting in on Jo's Boys. I've made some slow progress in Desert Queen. It is really interesting, and I am praying for enough sleep so I can finish it this next week or two.
Giveaway Winner!
Thank you for your entries in the drawing for Serendipity: Luxury Knits! Random.org picked a Laurel as the winner, and I have contacted all the entrants to let them know. If you didn't see a note from me, please tell me.
