On The Needles Fri Jan 18,2013

I was feeling very anxious one evening this week and my son said "You need to knit."  Smart guy.  So I had bought a skein of Ultra Alpaca so I could try knitting with it.  I cast on a pair of mitts using a pattern called Dixie Rose Mitts by designer Julie Matthews.

I think it is a cute pattern, and there are supposed to be buttons on the cuff- I have to hunt through my button stash and find something awesome!

Head over to Patchwork Times and see what else is on the needles!

I love how knitting can comfort us. I'm looking forward to seeing the mitts complete with buttons.
