Mitaines

Made some mittens today for the shop - fingerless.  The mittens, that is...  There doesn't seem to be a translation for fingerless gloves, or fingerless mittens.  If you know one, let me know!



The pattern is by an old friend of mine - Sandra Buckley - she sells her pattern on Etsy - her shop is called Bijou Boutique.

Apart from making fingerless mittens, I have baked some cheese and herb scones....



...and even cleaned a couple of windows!

The weather has been warm today and I haven't needed to light the wood burner at all.  Maybe in a few millenia, we'll be eating Christmas Lunch on the beach like my Australian friends! (Or more likely round the lake, as it takes about 2 hrs to get to any beach from here!)



Yesterday I made some cacti - see my other blog for details - and I've published the pattern (FREE) on Ravelry.  It's not exactly going like wildfire, but there have been a few downloads.
