Bella, Bella, Bella, and Bella

I finished pair one and two. I timed myself on the second pair and it took 7 hours. I was working out of two skeins and had to finish the second pair to find it took only one skein per pair. I know I have said it many times but the Brown Sheep Lambs Pride is the best yarn and the best value out there. The pattern calls for 220 yards so I got 4 skeins now I have enough for four pairs. When I gave the finished mittens to the teacher that commissioned them another teacher wants the fourth pair! The other day I knit the 7 hours straight and even today still have hand cramps. I know, Boohoo! a whole day of knitting.

Bella's Mittens

I was asked to knit the Bella Mittens from the movie "Twilight" for the kindergarten teacher at T3's school. She and her friends fell in love with them. I have the first pair of three done except for the thumbs. I am using Brown Sheep Worsted in Charcoal Heather from School Products in Manhattan. I didn't want to wait or pay for shipping so I had my Mr. pick it up when he was there last week. This yarn is wonderful. If you have never used it I highly recommend finding a project appropriate. The pattern is only 82 rows so went pretty quickly. Twelve stitch cable pattern and ribbing. Nice. I am going back to finish now and watch the rest of the Super Bowl (really I just like the commercials).

p.s. The computer is working much better now and was only gone for 4 days!
