Here is my progress so far on my one project for the Ravelypics. I know, on project is kinda sad. But I'm a crazy student (read to many obligations) and these gloves are lined, so really, it's like knitting FOUR gloves. If I finish them early I am sure I will cast on something eles for Ravelympics.
I am knitting Fiddlehead mittens. I love them so much already. The white is baby alpaca, which is so soft. Even better, I am going to be using the white to line them. Yummy!!!
Also, stranded knitting is WAY easier that I thought it would be. I am just flying along, reading the charts is not hard at all (I am not even having to mark it off like I do with lace), and holding and knitting with two yarns does not seem to be a problem for my fingers to figure out, which is great because my brain has a hard time getting around that concept. Glad my fingers know what they are doing.

I knew that if I delved a little deeper beyond facebook, I would find the answer to my question! It IS mitts! And a very nice pattern, too. I also like your little knitting glossary, as well as all of the glamour shots of yarn. It's probably a very good thing that Carolyn didn't have a digital camera . . . I have visions of hundreds of photos: Printed cotton cunningly draped, a swath of silk, lit just so, balls of yarn in their natural habitat. The mind boggles!!!!!!!!!!!!
But great pics, keep 'em coming.
