I finally took pictures of the Twilight mittens I started working on a couple of weeks ago:

I'm totally in love with this pattern for a few different reasons. The first is, it's been a long time since I've worked a pattern that gives row by row instructions. You know how much you've done, and you know how much further you have left to go. The second is, I'm using Mauch Chunky in Eggplant, which works up really fast. I'd say 90% of the mitten was worked up over the course of a couple of hours in the car on the way to my grandma's house. (On a semi-unrelated note, I think I would probably actually eat eggplant if we called it Aubergine, because "eggplant"...blech.) There was a third reason, but Henry just interrupted me approximately fifteen times while I was typing out this paragraph, so now I can't remember what it was.

As you can see in the picture above, I've started working on the second mitten. A lot of progress was made last night while watching the movie Elf. "Knitting Twilight mittens is my favorite!" Okay, not technically a line in the movie, but it totally should have been...

The other night I picked up dpn's so I can knit the thumbs. Very exciting!
