Cue the National Anthem:
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.
Congratulations on Gold! The mittens and hat look great and the picture of you is adorable!
So cute! I love the way the hat fits.
You keep yourself warm down there!
Wow! Nice work! I know what you mean about those plummeting temperatures–Arizona is hovering in the 70’s as well–Brrrr!
I vote for the reindeer headband. Do the Norweigen patterns all come with a radio link to “Prairie Home Companion” and a nice hot dish recipe? (grin)
Would love the sock links…thanks for stopping by the blog!
Great job on the hat and mittens!
Yeah!! You did it! And soooooo cute too!
Keep your fingers and toes crossed for me and Ene!
Ha, ha! Brrrr, indeed — how’d you like 25 instead? 🙂 It’s a beautiful set . . . now maybe your dh will take you skiing someplace :o)
great job on the yummy mittens and hat! Two color knitting still seems a bit daunting to me !
Your are beautiful.
Keep us posted on the delicious headbands that are calling your name 🙂
Congratulations! Your mittens and hat set really looks pretty. Colour knitting is something I want to try too.
Great job!!
2 color knitting is something I’d like to try sometime too, but like you, were afraid I’d not do well. Congrats on overcoming your fear and beautifully too!
You deserve every bit of the gold. They are very pretty!
Very well done on the hat and mittens. 68degrees – freezing!!
Congratulations. Not only do you get to hear the national anthem as you receive your medal, but now you are ready for a vacation into snow country!
Way to go! Congratulations of the gold medal! The set came out great!
My house saw the vacuum today too. I had no choice though as I was sick of climbing over the dust bunnies! 😉
Lovely work, and Congrats on the gold!
I need to get over my fear of colorwork.
What wonderful pictures!
Congratulations on finishing!!
Great job! They turned out very nicely. I’ll have to get that book you mentioned so that I can work on two-color knitting; I’ve done small bits once or twice with not-so-beautiful results.
Beautiful!! They look fabulous! I know you will def wear them today since 70 degrees is oh so cold!
