Another F.O.

I got the children's mittens finished about an hour ago. I had hoped to have them done yesterday (no real reason why, just wanted to finish them I guess), but that didn't work out. No worries though! These will count as my January entry for Knittin' Mittens.
I used Lion Brand Wool in the Flower Garden (number 202 I think) colourway; size 4.5 mm dpns, and they are sized for 2-4 years. I tried to get creative with the picture, so I went outside and found a little pile of snow to rest them against. We don't have a lot of snow right now, but for later this afternoon, this evening, and overnight we are supposed to get a storm. I think it's supposed to stop sometime tomorrow afternoon. What perfect knitting weather - though for me, any weather is perfect knitting weather. Anyway, the colour is more accurate than from the photo of the Kirstin Bag, since this was taken outside in all natural light.

I still have some yarn left over - probably enough for another small pair of mittens. I'm not sure if I'll make another pair, or if I'll make a felt bowl from it. I think a hat would look nice, but don't know if I have enough for that...hold on, see the lightbulb overtop of my head? I just had a thought (scary isn't it?)! I have another skein of this yarn because I had bought 2 extra when I was working on the bag instead of just one...wasn't thinking I guess. Anyway, I suppose that now I could make a hat to go with the mittens...

I haven't worked on the sock yet, but that is next. No rush for this project either, as they are just for myself. There are so many gorgeous sock patterns out there, so many beautiful sock yarns...Everyday I see more and more patterns I want to try, and more and more yarn I wish I could afford to buy...but, I'm trying to knit from my stash for a little while before acqiring more yarn. I'm not in any "knit from your stash" group, but I just set this as a little goal/resolution for myself. Don't know how long it will last though...

Well, I'd better head off and do some homework so I'll feel like I did something other than knit. Then, after some homework and practicing my flute for tonight's lesson (unless it starts storming before that and they cancel it), I can reward myself with some more knitting!
