Comfort Mountain Mittens

A new pattern I worked up when nothing out there was impressing me. My son needed mittens for the pumpkin patch this weekend, I've been sitting on this beautiful Elliebelly Peace Fleece for far too long.

So, I took a break from knitting my customs one night and finished these in under 5 hours total for both. I think it only took so long as I was writing it down and perfecting it as I went.

Then, I had to borrow my mom's camera at the pumpkin patch to take photos before Caden ran off and lost them or got them dirty.

have to break a promise

i promised photos by this weekend but that isn't going to happen....for months.

unfortunately, my home was broken into on Thursday afternoon while I was at work. The perp kicked in my back door and stole several cameras and photo printers, video cameras, iPod docks, my children's piggy banks, food, a breast pump and much much more...including my sense of safety.

We are in the process of filing a homeowner's claim but being I've never dealt with something like this, have NO idea how long it will be before I am able to replace some of the things that I've lost.

The worst part of this whole ordeal....when I got my ultrasound to find out what I was having, I opted to NOT find out. I had the US tech write it on a piece of paper and seal it up for my fiance incase he just HAD to know. Well, he never opened it, but instead tucked it away in the sealed envelope. This horrible horrible person who did this to us, opened that envelope. They are now one of two people who know what I'm having. I'm crushed. I'm angry. I'm....speechless.

Right now I'm a mix of emotions. Feeling unsafe, a little depressed when I look to the spot where my son's piggy bank was...the one that had all his firsts written on it...with dates, names...everything for his first year of life. I'm sure smashed and in the trash by now. I'm angry and hating the world.

So, yeah. Thats where I am. And I'm being forced to break my promise to take pictures.

I'm sorry.

i swear i'm working

sorry for the lack of progress photos. no batteries and no time to get them so far this week :(

I promise, by the weekend though.

So, the MM Synchro Longies are split for the legs and are about 6" in to leg one. I'm holding off here to get a photo. Want to make sure the striping is acceptable.

WSK Choco Rainbow longies are about 8 inches into the rise.

KBK/Fam. Roots Edward arrived and is next up.

Hope that helps a little!
