Hourglass sweater is painfully close to being finished: only the sleeve and bottom hems to finish, but I'm exceedingly unmotivated to do them for some reason. Must. Pull. Through.In the meantime, I made Jennie some mittens because she (gasp!) was walking all over Maine in the winter with bare hands. Blasphemy.
Pattern: Tweedy Mittens from Kpixie; hook idea from Weekend Knitting by Melanie Falick.
Yarn: some leftover TLC Cara Mia that Mel gave me months ago. I don't know what the color's called, but I love it because it reminds me of green tea and sage and sea glass
Needles: US4 DPNs
Techniques Learned: making the hook, I suppose.
Recipient: Jennie B.
Notes:
- Pretty easy project. This is the only pattern I've used for plain mittens; I actually have never done it with stripes though I like the way it looks in the pictures.
- This yarn is nice. It's mostly synthetic with a little angora, and feels more like cut-up stripes of supersoft fabric than plied yarn.
- That's it. I just needed an excuse to post here.

i like them! what's the hook for, though?
Theoretically, to hang on a nail for safekeeping. :) I can't imagine many people do that anymore, but I thought they were adorable and added them anyway.
I'm glad the yarn worked out. I really enjoy that yarn because I can't figure out why it feels so cool. XD And I enjoy that pattern as well.

My laptop got repaired and restored to factory settings from having a virus and now the headphones port isn't working. I plug in the earphones but the sound still comes through the speakers. How do I fix it? Running Windows Vista
