Single Color Mittens
Week 49 = Mittens and Gloves
Day 4 = December 6, 2014
Mittens can be colorful. Mittens can have intricate patterns. Mittens can also be beautiful with only one color. Sometimes all you need is a simple pattern and, viola, a gorgeous pair of mittens.

Fabulous Friday - Argylers Handwarmers
Week 49 = Mittens and Gloves
Day 3 = December 5, 2014
I have been waiting forever to spotlight these fingerless gloves. I love the look of fingerless gloves. The texture and style of the stitching on these are not too over the top. You also get a good idea of the pattern without having to do any colorwork.

Mittens and gloves are some of the few things that I have yet to knit. I would love to knit some cute mittens for my girls. I think these look adorable and would be fun, quick knits.

Creativity Runs in the Family
Week 48 = Give Thanks
Day 7 = December 2, 2014
Day 7 = December 2, 2014
Today I am thankful for the creativity that runs in my family. Ten years ago I claimed a dining room table out of the depths of my parent's basement. It was in desperate need of refinishing and was missing the leaves that went in the center to expand the table. Long ago the table used to be in my great grandparents' house when my mother was young, so it holds a lot of sentimental value for me. Well, that sentimental value has quadrupled today.
Last May I asked my Dad if he could make some leaves for the table. When I moved with the table to SC, it was to the home of 2 young adults who hardly ever used it. Now it is used by my family of 5 and guests. It hasn't really fit the expanded needs of my family for several years.
The new handmade leaves were unveiled this afternoon and they are beyond astoundingly gorgeous. See for your self...
Before & After...a piece of the old piano with the newly finished leaf
27-1/2" of beautiful woodwork
What gorgeous leaves - time for me to refinish the rest of the table top.
To add even more sentiment to the 2 leaves that my Dad handmade for my great grandparents' dining room table, guess what my Dad did? He made the 2 leaves out of remnants of the old piano that I grew up playing which ALSO belonged to my great grandparents. Let's just throw in a heap of inspiration and tears at the meaningfulness if the whole thing.
Thanks Dad
