So I'm already a little derailed. I forgot how much a new grandbaby and us being sick and beginning the school session again would throw me off of my knitting time. This is the first of a pair of fingerless mitts. I was not going to give myself any hard deadlines for anything but designs this year, but then a birthday party was planned and my idea of just giving this gift when it was finished as a birthday gift was lost. It kind of needs to be finished by Saturday. And that is not likely to happen. It might end up being given on Sunday.

This pattern has given me some fits. It's beautiful, but there are just enough errors in it to make it confusing and difficult to navigate in a few places. It was in a magazine, and I cannot find errata, but I know how sometimes errors are missed or introduced in that whole process.

I am still knitting on the scarf design, and also have a mitten to work on for another design, as well as casting on a sweater for Amelia. The two latter are a bit on standby at the moment.

I put aside Pumpkin Roll for a bit while I started up with the latest doughnut mystery, Blame the Beignets. You Are Peter is next for non-fiction, and I've restarted it.
