Murakami mits

Just taking a quick peek at Ravelry before I am out to pick up my daughter and I saw these amazing mittens that combine two of my favorite hobbies: knitting and Haruki Murakami! Tora says that the mittens are knit with the following quote from a Wild Sheep Chase: "You'll never see that woman again...Because you thought only of yourself." A Wild Sheep Chase by Haruki Murakami

February is for finishing...wait it is almost March...

Despite signing on to "February is For Finishing" on the Toronto Ravelry forum of the same name, it is now almost March and I am not done...guess that is because I added a purse to the line up in addition to the scarf and hat that I am re-doing from last year's super-lovely alpaca purchase. BUT, too the rescue is the latest greatest coffee and a kick in the pants challenge from the folks at the Toronto Craft Alert! Run, don't walk to post, share, and finish your craft projects for a chance to win a basket of goodies from local artists, crafters, and shops worth an estimated $700.00! Details here...
