Unraveled Wednesday

Joining Kat and friends for Unraveled Wednesday, with one pair down, and 25 more rows to go on the second pair.


When we visited The Loopy Ewe last August, Ryan spied the Hedgehog Fibers Egg Yolk colorway and said immediately that he wanted some Fried Egg & Waffle mitts - one mitt in Egg Yolk, one mitt in an Egg White colorway, and both in a waffle pattern. I was happy to oblige for Christmas! I have offered to knit him another pair just like it, in case he ever wants to match. Fingers crossed tightly that the post office doesn't lose these, but with a six-day delivery estimate for a priority package that I mailed on Monday, they might arrive after Christmas. As long as they get there!


Justin's mitts are almost done, and I'm going to follow Kat's example and finish them today, while knitting in lots of warmth and love.


I'm still reading A Place in the Woods, but am enjoying it so much that I plan on savoring it.

What are you making and reading this week?

  2. Six days for Priority Mail?! That's ridiculous! But as you say, the important thing is that they get there, and I'm sure he'll be thrilled even if they come a little late.

  3. Hooray for getting presents finished! I love those mitts, and what an imagination Ryan has. I'm glad you have found a book to savor; those seem thin on the ground these days. I am still working on my wrap-around shawl, and I am enjoying the process. Not readying anything impressive, but lightly entertaining, so I am not complaining. I hope your day today is just as enjoyable and productive as your day yesterday. Happy Wednesday, Bonny.

  5. YOU CAN DO IT!! (Of course, nothing else will get done - but you will have a finished mitt at the end of the day!)

    I am listening to my first Jeanette Winterson novel - The Gap of Time.

  7. The gift of the mitts that have a family story attached will be just fabulous, even if they arrive a day late. May your mitt knitting go smoothly and quickly!

  11. The mitts are fun, fantastic and make me hungry - I've had breakfast! Love both your senses of humor and fingers crossed that your pkg arrives! I'm sure by the time you read this post, Justin's mitts will be done...almost. Knit on!
    Cheers~

  12. Justin's idea of egg and waffle mitts is so creative and fun! These days we can all use a little more humor. I've had good luck with the post office priority mailing boxes so I hope you do too. I'm going to look for that book. I agree with the commenter that wrote about the rarity of books to savor. Nature/memoir writing is right up my alley. Good luck finishing the other pair.

  13. hoping all the mitts are done now! note that all of my holiday knitting was done with worsted weight yarn or big needles. just sayin' ;-) I know your boys will have warm hands and hearts wearing their mitts ... knitting in the love is the best thing about gift knitting (well, besides finishing it on time!)
