Orchid Mitts

Hello again!

It's been a while, hasn't it? I've been working on a lot of little projects in addition to the Princess behemoth--above we have the Orchid Mitts by Anne Hanson of Knitspot. These were really fun and they've kept my hands nicely warmed in the chill of the library. I used some leftover KnitPicks Shadow laceweight and knit the shorter version. An excellent pattern, and I expect I'll knit more in the future.

In Princess news, I'm about 80 rows away from finishing the center of the shawl (!). My progress has been a little slower than usual, because I rediscovered my spindle a few weeks ago and have been pretty obsessed with the spinning thing:

The Coopworth roving and spindle were given to me by a very lovely person a while back. It only took me three years or so to get around to using them. :)

And now I can't seem to stop....
