Last weekend I went to Boise to visit my sister, brother-in-law, and nephew!

One day, my nephew and I happened to be wearing matching socks!!

My sister complained that my nephew needed mittens to keep his tiny hands warm, but he kept taking off the ones he had because he likes to suck his thumb.

So, what did I do??

Knit him some thumbhole mittens, of course!!  Out of my very own handspun!

What could be more fun?

All ready to go!  With handknit thumbhole mittens and socks!

And here they are by themselves.  I wrote up a pattern which I’ll post in the next few days, in case anyone else wants to knit thumbhole mittens.

I was also finally able to get a picture of my sister in the lace scarf I knit for her a year and a half ago.

And I was also able to finish up the due chine sweater with the yarn I had left, although it has a lower neckline than the final pattern will have.  This is the only picture I have so far… more soon.
