Dots, dots, dots...




They seem to be all over the place these days....



The Ursula tunic is ready to wear and the elephant & dot skirt needs a little bit of sewing by hand. Not a bad thing at all on a Sunday evening....if I don't fall asleep.

Strawberry mittens


3   3    3    3    3    3    3    3

Third time lucky is hopefully what I will experience with the mittens I'm making - for the third time! - for my sister. I wonder whether she gets to use them before winter has turned into spring. I will knit as fast as I can!

The first attempt was a misery and I shall say no more about them, but I actually thought, that the second pair would be perfect.


But - as you can see in the picture - they sure didn't go well either! There was a little "thumb issue" with these striped ones.
So, I decided to make a third mitten attempt...this time with strawberries. So far it's going okay....



I found the pattern made by Spilly Jane Knits on ravelry, but you can also buy it in her etsy shop - right here.
