After much delay

I've been busy keeping Tim in a dungeon procrastinating. Actually, I've been hoping to find my camera so that I could post a better photo of my finished mittens but no luck so far. So here is the iPhone version:

They turned out very nicely indeed and I finished knitting them on the last day of July. However, the ends weren't all woven in by midnight so by Tim's calculations they don't count as finished. Doesn't matter to me, they are lovely completed mittens and that is all that really concerns me.

I was fretting about the garter stitch edge while knitting them but they've mostly blocked out flat so that's good. All in all, I'm very pleased with the mittens. I'm planning to make a hat to match in November for our hat month in the almanac project.

As for the August project, my socks have been knitted, I just need to block and weave in ends before the end of the month. Photos for that coming soon!
