Almost up to date
These are last week’s pictures, it’s true, but I’ve just moved and haven’t set up my (faster) computer.
About a week ago, I re-started my orange Dana Victoria…
I think it looks like a daisy.
You will notw the shiny 2.5mm KnitPicks needles. They arrived in my mail on Monday! Very yummy. They feel like nothing in my hands… it took me a while to get used to such light needles. They’re very nice, but does anybody else have a problem with dropping stitches using such short needles? I may have to buy the circ vinyl things, though I prefer DPNs…
I’m close to finishing the thumb gusset of my first mitt, which is several inches longer than in this picture.
And also from KnitPicks… Knitpicks Palette, in Ash and Fog. I was very pleased with the quick delivery (one week) and the price. I’ll let you know just how nice the yarn itself is when I start swatching. (I’ve been put off by unpacking and the occupation of the needles by Dana Victoria.)
Also in my mail last Monday, after at least five delays and about 10 weeks, Latvian Mittens from Amazon. I’m considering using some of the mitten elements in The Boy’s grey socks, since it’s going to be a while ’til I knit winter mittens. After all, spring is finally in Toronto! I’ll take pictures of my budding garden soon.

The yarn and pattern look lovely! I prefer wooden/bamboo dpns over metal ones (unless the yarn really grabs on) because they’re less likely to fall out of the knitting. How long are the Knitpicks dpns?
Re Pomatomus–I ended up frogging the extra half-repeat so that I could follow Chart B; it made life much easier!
