It's Monday already?

I've got not a lot to talk about or show you. I finished the Goblin Eyes mittens. I've tried to do something nice with the cuff, but the pattern doesn't show with the color changes. Could have done just plain K1, P1. They are made with my handspun yarn (Romney fiber). Not my favorite, rather on the bottom of my list of fibers I'd like to work with again. But - I like the opportunity to try out new fibers through the Spunky Eclectic Fiber of the Month Club. I had to use 2.75mm needles, to get a decent knitted fabric, could have used smaller needles still, but I'd ripped the mittens once before, and didn't want to do them over again. So after I finished knitting, I gave them a vigorous bath, with rubbing and scrubbing to felt them a little. Enough said about them.

Since I don't feel very chatty today, I let others speak for me. First though have a look at Claudia's knitting journal. Isn't it gorgeous? That made me photograph mine as well:
It's a little spiral note book, which I started March 2006. I have to use a rubber band to hold it together, because at one point I started collecting ball bands of the yarns I used, mainly so I could write down the info for each project. There are some note sheets to my free patterns as well. It's bulging out of its seams. I used to take real crappy notes, not helpful at all. Now I'm a little better about it. One thing's for sure, as soon as this one's full, I'm going to get me a real nice one, but I think it will hold another one or two years worth of knitting projects, I'm only halfway through. :o)

And now for the entertaining part. Tracy, please forgive me for linking to your yesterday's post, but it's funny and I'd like to share it: If you like to read the Yarn Harlot's blog posts, you'll get a laugh out of this one too: Tracy and her knitting in public.

Have a good one!
