Good Lord, where did the

Good Lord, where did the last few days go??
I did Canteen Duty at school for the first time ever on Monday :)
These kids musn't get fed at home - as soon as the ball goes, they're there, at the canteen, in line to get food. (Including my own kid, I might add!) Feeding time at the zoo is calmer ;)
So that was Monday, gone and over!
But I've been knitting - but not on Satin. I started Satin on the weekend, did the ribbing on the back, then put it aside and haven't touched it since.
I've been Dulaan-ing :)

Little mittens!

Pink superwash with some pink fluff on the edges. Half a ball from the leftovers box. I guesstimated the size, knit them up with the assistance of Ann Budd's Handy Book of Patterns, and had about a foot of yarn left. I spent the last few rows of the second mitten sweating on whether I would have enough yarn to finish them.

Pink Hat!

Leftover Lambs Pride Bulky. Jill sent me some to make some felted slippers for Em ages ago. The slippers didn't work out, but Em likes the hat. Tough luck, kidlet, a poor, cold small child will be wearing it :)
I really liked knitting with the LP though.
And I did a hat from the leftover Woolease from DH's hat last week.
I found three half balls left from a hat I knit DH last year. I'm going to knit a stripey hat, using the jogless stripes techniaue from the six sox stashbuster socks. Using up some leftovers feels good.
Em's poncho remains unseamed and unfringed. I'm enjoying little things right now. Instant gratification :)

You go, girl! Now "Dulaan" is a verb. I like it!

Those are so adorable. Especially the fluff!

Neat mittens. Are mittens hard? I usually just do hats.
