On my needles this week...

I'm actually knitting someone else's pattern for a change! The weather has started to turn cold (and damp - drizzle, yuk!) and somehow my younger son has no mittens. Actually that's not entirely true. Emptying out the cold weather accessories bag revealed last year's mittens which are now too small (you can't count them as fitting if you have to curl your fingers up for them to be long enough!), one fleece Thomas the tank engine mitten and one shop-bought Spiderman mitten, both for the same hand! 
He needs new ones, and fast. I had this pattern already which I had bought in last year's Ravelry Indie Designer Gift-Along (more about that later). It's written for worsted weight, which I don't have except in kitchen cotton, so I'm using sock yarn held doubled which is working out nicely. The pattern itself is Wee Little Sheep Mittens from Birch Hollow Cottage. It's a very cute pattern in children's sizes, and if you don't fancy sheep there are foxes, raccoons, hedgehogs, frogs, gnomes, mice, cats and rabbits to choose from as well.

As soon as these are done I'll be right back into my own designs again. I have a beret pattern drawn up that I'm itching to cast on!
