A quiet weekend of knitting

I love weekends of knitting. Especially when the pauses are filled with family and friends, tea and coffee, books and games, mushroom hunting in the wood, berry picking in the garden and things like these. And most of the time, the rain has been pouring and the wind has threatened to blow us far away, so there has been fires build in the fireplace and lots of blankets and cozy time. I'm not complaining for a second!


The weather and good time allowed me to finish my first Mermaid Glove and cast on for the next. It is so soft from the alpaca and I'm in love with the color- green and yellow are on top of my list at the moment.


I'm knitting the pair on size 2 mm needles, so I does take a while to get done, but it's a lovely little knit and I'm cute sure I'll be very satisfied with them. And I've already tried to knit a bit with this one on, just to make sure they will work as winter knitting mitts too - they work perfectly, so now the cold weather can set in for real very soon.
