New Glasses

Bifocal? Trifocal transitional? It's weird, the edges are all blurry.

It's official. I have old eyes.

Mitten Request

C#2 didn't want mittens last year. He has entered the phase of wanting store bought ski gloves - 

black of course. 

I understand even though it saddens me a bit.

C#1 is another story altogether. He has been asking for mittens since last year's mittens have gone missing. We discussed some options, but then happily he asked me to surprise him with whatever design I choose!

I have looked at tons of patterns, and wanted something stranded and warm.

I bought Magnificent Mittens & Socks byAnna Zilboorg on sale at a book store, and that was where I found C#1's mitten. Her mittens all have some really fancy cuffs, but I think I'll just do a simpler cuff.

He won't even peek at his mittens! I hope he likes them, they will be very warm!
