Summer Knitting

I really hadn’t been knitting much this summer.  Not sure if it was the weather or just plain laziness.  But I’m back into it now.  Christmas is right around the corner and I want to try and sneak in a few handmade gifts.  I’m also itching (teehee) to do another sweater or cardigan now that I can seam.  The green mitts above were my little practice project - there were knit flat.  I actually prefer knitting on straight needles, it’s more relaxing.  Long circular needles tend to twist madly and double-pointed needles can be deadly like a porcupine.  Currently, I am working on my first lace project, a simple but infuriating pattern that just might cost me my sanity.

    Those are cute! I can’t wait to see the lace project you’re working on. That’s funny too, because I tend to prefer circulars ‘cause straights get in my way.

    Thanks so much for that stitch marker idea! I haven’t had a problem with missing stitches since I started using them.
