If I counted correctly, I have made 8 pairs of mittens over the last several weeks. Whew! I am tired of knitting mittens for a while.
All but 2 pairs were for my newest pattern, Pop Top Mittens (available here). They're knit in worsted/medium weight yarn and instructions are included for kids sizes 2-10. These are a quick project for young family members or for charity!
So now I have moved on to a new project.... gloves for me. I must be in a rut of keeping hands warm! But our near-chronic snow makes mittens or gloves a necessity. I think of my Dad telling me the best way to warm your whole body is over a sink of hot dish water. Bleh! I'd rather knit and wear gloves/mittens! After all, you can't stand over a sink and walk the dogs at the same time.
On a totally unrelated note, I finished my year of swimming at a grand total of 210.23 miles. Yea! The pool has been a popular place lately, but the kids are almost ready to head back to school, so I am hoping to find smoother water this week. Should I push for 250 miles in 2010?
Happy New Year of Knitting!

Really cute mittens!
How many miles do you swim each time you go to the pool? You're so close to 250 now, I think you could probably do it.
