Paris Mittens
I've been wanting to make a pair of stranded mittens that were a bit more fitted than the typical Norwegian mittens. My goal was to come up with something that was a touch Victorian, with a few fun elements that I'd like to wear - picot edging, a travel theme, some fitted seaming. One day I'll actually make it to Paris, but in the mean time, I can at least enjoy these...
If you are interested in purchasing this pattern ($6 CDN) you can get it here.

More yarn for the stash
I stopped in to the Saint John City Market today and caught up With Elizabeth Miller, who has a craft table there on Saturdays. Shesells her own dyed roving, hand spun yarns, and lovely hand-knit and woven pieces. I couldn't resist this skein of baby alpaca, kid mohair & silk yarn... now to find a project for it!
