First off was finishing my mitts. I knit the 2nd one tighter than the first and it fits much better. I will probably try these again using one size smaller needles and see how they turn out.
The color is gorgeous and I have already put them to good use as it's been down in the low 30s the last few mornings. Ugh! They are predicting 20s for the start of the week.
I was able to get pants on my male caroler and that made me very happy. I just may be able to finish this block by the end of the month. Or at least come really close!
And today I finally stopped procrastinating and washed and blocked my Cosette shawl which was finished earlier this year. I hope it will dry quickly so that I can begin wearing it. I like the colors I chose but if I knit this again, I will choose colors that contrast more sharply with each other.
The picot edging used up a LOT of pins and took quite a bit of time to pin out. I sure hope it retains it's definition.
Tomorrow I will be pulling the final two names for my last breast cancer kit giveaway so be sure to leave a post if you're interested in being entered.

He is looking very handsome with his pants on. Hahah. I worked on the log cabin in block six Friday night. It was not much but it was needle to thread.... Beautiful shaw; perfect colors for this time of year. Sheesh I could use those kits in the office!! It is always so cold. Very nice work lady.
This shall is beautiful!
Or, you know, shawl. I really have to proofread when I use my phone to comment. It's got a mind of its own.
