the current state of things
well, its clear i have a problem. i can't stop fair isling. but after i post these pictures, i'm taking a break. i have to force myself to do at least something else before this weekend is over. i didn't join the olympics, but the last three days have sort of felt like i had.....
body is done, just finished kitchener-ing it to completion. now i just need to pump out the little thumb and pick up my provisional c.o. stitches and do some (non-corrugated!) ribbing............ and make another mitten.
can't wait! ¶ 1:53 PM

OK, Tweedy, I am wicked impressed! That is looking awesome and then some, really. And you must feel really good having gotten a hold of the fair isle technique. Fist, one mitten, then the world. lol Curious to see if you pick up the pattern for the cuff. (And why start with the body before the cuff, or from the top down? Is that in the pattern?)
OMG! You're so quick!!! This just motivated me to finish my socks tonight now! (Even though I'd been knitting on it the whole evening at the Stitch N Bitch!)
And they're gorgeous!
Now I think I want some of those. I don't have the patience for a fair-isle sweater but I could definitely go for those mittens. You make it look so easy.
I love them! Can I just say, I really admire men who knit. I know that you truly see the art in it. Tell me, I must know, how that knit picks palette is. I have been tempted many times...I NEED to know if it is scratchy wool...or merino-soft...give me an idea. Next to the skin wear...or just great for mittens?
