I knew no good would come of it

While it is true that I currently have 3 knitting projects in the works, it is also true that there is always room/time/desire to start something else.  Which I did.  This week.  Because I saw this pattern for an advent calendar garland made of teeny tiny knitted mittens.  Teeny tiny knitted mittens are extremely cute.

I also happen to have this bowl of Julia Yarn sitting around waiting for me to do little projects with.  I am not intending to make an advent calendar.  I am however planning to make a garland of mittens to hang on the mantel.  This yarn is a dream to work with and you know when it's by Kristin Nicholas the colors are to die for.

I was going to make all solid colors but then had to go and mix things up a bit.  It's fun to see how they come out.  Each mitten takes a little over an hour to do.

I am going to stop when I have the right amount of mittens for my mantle.  Or I get tired of making teeny tiny mittens.  Whichever comes first.

I might have to mix in a few mitten ornaments I bought at Bizarre Bazaar.  Or not.  There could be a few buttons attached as well.  Maybe.       

This is what that Halloween Banner has led to.   I knew no good would come of it.

Carol, you are such a good knitter! Such an inspiration for those of us who sort of K and sort of P and sometimes get those in alphabetical order! Thank you!

Ah, you have caught bunting/garland/banneritis! It is a definite addiction that I suffer from too. Fun though isn't it. Love the mittens! xx

After spending hours looking at Patterns on Ravelry, looking for hats, leg warmers for the grandkids, now I find this pattern on your blog! You know I can't resist this cutie...now that I'm able to knit again after months of rest for my hands. I've learned to take frequent breaks, exercise my hands, wiggle my fingers, etc. I don't ever want to be knitless again. Glad to be back in my pleasure mode.
