More Knitting

 I just can't seem to stop knitting. I have finished 2 pairs of mitts. in the past week.

I made a quick pair of toddler mitts for a collection of warn hats and mitts for a local Woman's shelter.


These were made from the leftovers from a pair of lady's mitts.



I also finished the double mitts with some soft grey liners. I love the contrast in the size of the two mitts.

After those finishes, I started a winter hat.



It is knit from the pattern that was used to make the Santa Hat for the movie Red One. I know nothing about the movie, but the hat story is in the description on Ravelry. The pattern is currently free.

I know somebody who I think will enjoy the hat.

Meanwhile, I have started my holiday decorating, slowly. It took awhile to find the Advent Candles. I have LED candles, so the cats don't catch fire. After some searching some batteries were also found.


I also made mince tarts, though not from scratch.



Not the tidiest, but they were good. 


With luck, the tree will go up this week. Sometimes, I think by the time it all gets put up it, it's time to take it down.
