This is a terrible picture of me. I didn't have my normal photographer with me. However, I love how Elijah described it as a jelly filled doughnut. I've started Nisseet, the first mitten, and will likely finish the first pair this week. Next week, I can finish the fingerless mitt version. This pattern, with both variations, will be published sometime in the next couple months. I kind of love afterthought projects. Since I am trying to work through my sock yarn, and our LYS made up a tube for me from a self striping yarn I love, they are great projects for me right now.

These are great car knitting projects, and I had a LOT of time for that yesterday, between a three plus hour drive each way to the Seattle Aquarium, and our hour by the side of the road with a tire rapidly going flat from a giant lug nut that was embedded in the tire as we drove. Glory to God, there was a mobile tire man available and nearby and we were on our way with the spare and some advice not too long after. We are so grateful that the tire didn't blow while we were driving and that the sensor told us we had low pressure. When we went to check the tires, the rear passenger tire was making so much noise, and deflating so quickly, that there was no doubt which one it was. Fotunately, our field trip was self-guided, so though we got there at lunch time, we were still able to see everything and enjoy ourselves.

I've only read a few more pages in Autobiography of Calvin Coolidge. Fellowship of the Ring will have to wait a bit.
