OK, let's do pictures. I can do pictures.....:lol:
First up, the SpillyJane Owl Mitts:

Fun, well-written pattern. And Cute!
The Alef-Tav mitts:

LOVE these - so fast to knit! I think there'll be another pair or 2 of these in my future.....:grin:
And....my current project: SpillyJane's "Prickly Thistles" mittens:

I'm making a few changes to these - for one thing, I'm converting them to fingerless mitts. I'm in Texas - we don't NEED mittens, but my wrists do need warmth. I LOVE this pattern - so I figure, I can fiddle with it and make it fingerless. And change the thumb to a gusseted one instead of an afterthought one. :fingers crossed:
Granted, I have a few other projects that I should be working on...but they're mindless. Right now? I need something that requires concentration. This? Isn't *difficult*, but it does require thinking. And I need that right now......
Anyway - this is a few hours worth of knitting; I started them last night and I've been working on them off and on today. No rush - but necessary right now.
So. We go pick up Snips at 4:30 today. She gets to stay locked in the bedroom if we're not here to supervise - but at least she's alive. I can deal with whatever we need to deal with, y'know?
Back to the needles......
