{Second Mitt Syndrome In Action}

I seriously should have tried knitting these two at a time.  SMS hasn't totally set it, but I see it coming on the horizon.  I have the cuff finished of the second mitt, but I'm just not super duper excited about knitting it, ya know?

So I did a little other crafting yesterday afternoon instead.  It's not cheating if I'm not knitting, right?  I pulled out the Banana Republic tank tops that I bought at the outlet mall in Charlotte, North Carolina and decided to do some t-shirt painting.


I'm not sure if I'll end up keeping this one or selling it. hehe I love it!

Then today I went and bought some acrylic washable yarns for a couple of the kids' projects I have planned for Christmas knitting.

This Strawberry Pink Simply Soft is for my niece's Fresh Picked Cardigan .



And I grabbed a great yellow from the Vanna's Choice line for my other niece's Duffle Coat. (Ravelry link)



Oh, and I don't think I told you guys that I got the buttons sewn on the Hey Teach, did I?  They are totally cute and add just the right amount of whimsy for a little girl's garment. :)



As soon as I'm done my mittens I'll definitely be sure to take pictures and show you guys.  They're pretty darn impressive. :)

  2. Wow, you have ambitious gifting plans. Good for you!

    Love the buttons on Hey Teach. They are cute and great contrast with the yarn.

    Did you paint freehand? Use a stencil? Either way, I love the t!

  3. That sweater is amazing. The buttons make it totally cute! I love your shirt painting skills too!

    I'm getting kinda burned out on these toe up 2 at a time socks that I am making. It just seems that I will never get to the gusset and heel. I figure have probably about 20 more rows till I get to those sections, but it just seems like an eternity.
