I did a KNITTING fingerless mitten binge this weekend (knitting speed is way up) - 3 pairs, but now I have 6 thumbs to knit - yikes!! Late last night, while looking for ‘help’, I found a video on knitting thumbs without gaps (between thumb & body of mitten - a real problem) and it was done on circular needles using Magic Loop, which is what I’m using. Super helpful! I’ll be working on thumbs in the next day or two. Started that mobius shawl wrap - yarn, which is 5 Bulky & soft, works up nicely ... changed the stitch pattern slightly. It will be easy to frog if I don’t like the finished piece - so far, so good.

Meanwhile, we had a big freeze Friday night & the kitchen countertops are loaded with jalapeno peppers rescued before they froze, red green & in-between .... I have to deal with them today before I can get back to ‘fiber arts’.

That sounds like me and all of my winter squash, LOL!
