Craft On: Mitten, Mitten, Who's Got the Mitten?
I have decided how to work the increases and decreases on Jamal. Now I'm happy with them and the pattern is written and about to go to my tech editor. Once I finish this pair (which will mean ripping back on the first mitt), I will start on the variation.
We finished Sense and Sensibility and watched the movie with Emma Thompson. I believe that Elinor is one of the best of Austen's heroines (Fanny in Mansfield Park is the other, in my opinion) with Colonel Brandon being a close second to Mr. Knightley for hero. Don't get me wrong, I adore Elizabeth and have been in love with Mr. Darcy since I was nine years old, but both needed correction and had flaws from the beginning. Knightley and Brandon were truly good men who did not need to be corrected in character in any way, likewise Elinor and Fanny. They made mistakes, but none that showed weakness of person. Hercule Poirot: The Complete Short Stories was returned to the library and is on hold again, and I'm reading more in Milk: The Surprising Story of Milk Through the Ages.
The SAL has begun, and the sale is still going through the end of the day on Friday (PDT). My bundle of five patterns can be found on PayHip and Ravelry. If you haven't yet, please consider joining us either in our Ravelry group or on Instagram. We have different ways to participate on both platforms, and prizes for games and finished objects.
