I finished both mittens and they were very easy to make. I was done with one glove after the flight from DC to Anchorage (7 hours) and they were very easy to do- I think I'll make more. I don't like those really bulky mittens so I used smaller needles and they are now a perfect fit.

Now that I have nothing to make I have pulled out my Knitting Guild papers. I am thinking about submitting work so that I may be an "advanced beginner" knitter. I've had this packet for over a year of course now that I want to use it the form has been revised and they are mailing me a new one. Great. I have to wait around.
