The time has come...

...for me to blog! Oh shazaam. I suppose this is one of my resolutions for this year of 2007. Classes have begun, I am squeezing in the knitting when I can. For example:

The lovely Rosebord mittens. I have fallen deep, deep, hard in love with these. This is the palm, where if you were already lucky enough to notice, I have forgotten to make a space for my thumb to go through. I also left out some patterning in that delightfully blank triangle. Directly beneath in the cuff design is yet another error in the center of the rosebord. Hah. Well, I like to confine my mistakes, okay?
Just look at that wonky tension. Sigh.
Seriously now. Fast knit. Fast! I'm totally absorbed. Pattern is yummy. Oh, and SO much great help from Nordic Fiber Arts. I was set on a color scheme from above, but my cheap-ass didn't want to spring for the color card (not to mention the waiting!). So after emails and prompt phone calls, I got exactly what I wanted. No surprises!

So there I go, one blog down, infinity to go!
