Nuclear Knits: Where knitting is the bomb!

Well crap.  I’m just not feeling the mittens out of fingering weight.  I’ll work on them slowly.  But they feel horribly unrewarding right now.  So while cleaning up I pulled out two other projects on my list.  1. Christmas gift quilt.  I got the whole thing laid out and now just need to finish the backing and quilt. 2. Simple holiday scarf for my daughter.   So while slow progress on the mittens is being made, more year of projects things are getting knocked off!

I have decided I’m just not in a sock knitting mood.  I’m very tired of them!  So I frogged the socks snd cast on a pair of mittens!  Feeling better with the project!

 I decided to cast on socks instead of finger less mitts for the next project and it is slow going.  The already knit sock that was painted by Gale's Art is the Yellowstone blank.  I tried to do two socks at once, toe up, and found that the yarn kept getting hung up.  So, I had to ball 1/2 of the blank.

I thought finishing this project would have been a lot faster than it was.  I only used one skein of the Rowan and a full skein of handspun.  But I think it came out great!  Next is a pair of socks!!
