Today's awesome update includes one mitt that is completely done, and the other with more than half of its ends woven! I did alter the pattern on the one mitt, just because it fits so snugly on my hand. It called for a longer 'sleeve' on it and an open thumb, but when I tried that it just looked overly bulky and wasn't very comfortable, so I've left off some of that to make it look more streamlined. Anyway, here's the pics!

I think they're coming along quite nicely. I was worried I wouldn't be able to finish them in the allotted time, but I think its a safe bet that I'll be able to get them all finished by tomorrow! I'm pretty excited about that. And then the set will be ready! Yay!

I put in 2 hours weaving end on the Granny Waves blanket today, and the results are... well, I don't like how the edges where I'm weaving them in look, so I'm definitely going to put an edging on it. It'll probably be a simple picot edging, but I am happy that the weaving is be going quicker than it did with the other two projects. Anyway, here is the latest.

 

So yeah. Lots faster. I'm over half done the weaving in of ends. And then there will be a little bit of extra crocheting and it'll be done! We'll see how long it takes to finish it off, though. Now it's on to the next project. Ice Chip Mitts.

 

For these I'm using the same yarn as the beanie and necklet. The pattern is by Kathy L. North in Designs by KN

I have 5 days to complete this project, and I'm interested to see how long it will take me exactly, because I've only made mitts a couple times before. Anyways, we'll see what tomorrow brings!
