Before and After....felted mitten

 

Here is a picture of one mitten done...no thumb yet, and one felted. I have 5 pair of these drying and it has been over 24 hours and they are stlil very, very damp! Have them by the woodstove but they are so thick it will probably take another whole day to finish drying them before giving them away.

The weather has been COLD! There is no other way to discribe how cold it's been. We have been at - 24F and today we got up to 3 above...it was down right balmy out! Went to my cousins to knit. Helping her with her felted mittens. I started a pair of two strands of worsted weight mittens for my hubby. He wore out two pair already this year using the roof rake at camp. More snow is coming tomorrow and the weatherman says around 9 inches or more. Oh well. At least it will warm up once the clouds come in and that northwesterly winds changes direction and we start getting some of the southern warmth in the jetstream.

And what about that plane landing in the Hudson River! That was one big miracle right there!!! My niece said if she would have been one of those passengers she would have bought 12 powerball tickets!!!! LOL Thank God they all survived and are ok. The pilot was one quick thinker!!! God Bless them all!

Time for bed...-11 right now and just got home from an evening of knitting!

KNIT ON!!
