But now I've been knitting every day for a week. In fact, I've been itching to get the needles in my hands. Strange, huh? I ripped back this mitten because the decreases at the top were leaving holes that I didn't like. Now I've started again in the same yarn with the Templeton Mittens pattern (ravelry link). I'm knitting with sport yarn on size 0 needles. That makes the mitten extra thick and narrow and squeezy. I love how it is turning out.
But, the real reason that I've caught the knitting bug again is this:
Aren't those colors to die for? I've just found Madelinetosh yarn and I may never buy another yarn again. This Tosh Marino Light is absolutely amazing. It will become a delicious stripey shawl. Rest assured, I'll post photos when I have a good start on the shawl.
Happy winter crafting to you!

oh yay yay yay!!
is it selfish that i'm glad you've caught the knitting bug again?
that madelinetosh is amazing - can't wait to see your shawl!!
Whenever I see yarn, I start getting grand dreams of knitting...it's resulted in a pattern and yarn for a sweater that I haven't yet made. I need a local knitting friend so I have help when I make mistakes!
ooo that is some pretty yarn! My knitting is on hold so I can bind my huge farmer's wife quilt, but I am with you. There is something about winter that makes knitting just the perfect activity :)
THat is quite THE yarn, isn't it? I see it all over the place now. Do I dare find some to touch? I don't need any more yarn!
I don't knit, but I've seen that madelinetosh yarn and I want it. It looks so luscious. There was an orange color I wanted.
ooo, those look so adorable! I'll have to pick your knitting brain, since I feel like a total knitting dork right now. :) I don't know hardly anything!
Beautiful yarn! And I love your green mittens!
you have such perseverance for those darn little needles. and what beauty results!
