Climbing the Platform

Cue the National Anthem:

hat and mittens on flowers

Don’t be fooled. That’s not snow, it’s camellia petals.

And not a moment too soon! It was 68° when these pictures were taken. I might have contracted frostbite without them.

Brrrr.

“You’ve just won the gold, what are you going to do now?”
“Well, Bob, I think I am going to check my email for the first time in a couple days. Then, I am going to catch up on my blog reading. After that, I might vacuum the house. That last one has been a dream of mine for some time…”

They aren’t the greatest bit of knitting I have ever done (what with all the lumpy parts and uneven stitches). I didn’t expect them to be, the Checks and Charms Hat and Mittens were a Learning Project for me. They have served their purpose: I am not afraid of two-color knitting anymore! To prove it: I have my eye on one of these.
