So I am finally getting around to posting about my final Christmas present! Here are the mittens I made for my BIL. They are the first mittens I have lined with fleece and they turned out excellent! I will be doing this again for mittens!

Last Knitpicks Order and Stash Down Update
So I am getting closer to getting my Emma's mittens done. I am on the second mitten now and I have modified them to be fingerless mittens so they no longer apply for the 11 mittens in 2011 but I will end up wearing them more! I haven't started my charity project yet but hope to soon!
On the bright side I am getting closer to having Abalone done. I only have the main edging to do! Both arms are done.
I am also being tested by Cookie A's new book Knit. Sock. Love. I have joined the knit.sock.love. group on Ravelry and really want to cast on for the first KAL for Hedera. I am thinking of using some of the Stroll Tonal I just got in yesterday.
Oh yeah here is my last order of 2010! It just took awhile to come in. Isn't the new Chroma gorgeous! The one on the left is prism and the rigth is pool party.

Emma's Mittens Started!
I finished up my BIL's mittens and started Emma's Mittens for my Stashdown 2011 challenge. I still have quite a few other projects to finish up so hopefully I have time to get those done too! I better get working.
I lined my first pair of mittens! My BIL's mittens. It gets pretty cold in Yellowknife! I used Techknitters guide and they turned out awesome. Now my hubby wants a pair!
My Emma's mittens are turning out great! I love Cascade Eco for mittens. It end up being surprisingly soft. It washes and wears well too!
I want to finish up my Abalone soon as well so that I can start wearing it. I spilled some Bailey's on it and it had to take a bath! I am just doing the arm holes right now. So just that and the edging left. The yarn is turning out really nicely as well!
So many things, so little time!
The snow is really flying here today so I predict a night of knitting ahead of me!
Happy Knitting!
