I had never thought of using a single ply. I love learning things from you. I've made your toasty mitts. Just might have to make a pair of these too. Happy weekend.

okay, we really do have the same taste in bags.
i've been eyeing that scottie in the exact same fabric.
you know how much i love my zhivagos - but i think a slightly smaller bag would be neat-o.

and thanks so much for the buttonhole tip!

love shelly's new mitts - updated! striking! oh, and the yarn tip is one i've already totally embraced for the niece and nephews.

thanks, leslie - hope you and the kids have a fun and candy-filled halloweed!

Hi,
I'm new to your blog and really enjoyed visiting. And the mitts are wonderful!

I'm gonna have to start saving up...I really want one of those bags!!!! :D Thanks for the info!

Simple and brilliant -- I am *so* using your trick instead of a needle and thread next time!

They are adorable long and thanks for the tip on the machine washable yarn.

I love the "updated version" and it's fun to see your sister. I saw some mitts long and ribbed and was thinking of making those changes to your pattern. Have fun costuming your family.

Brilliant. i never thought of doing that when the yarn doesn't fit through the buttonhole.

I didn't know you were allowed knitting needles on the plane!?!?!

love the updated look! those mitts are great. have fun with your family this weekend. we're on an apple kick here too. fried apples are a favorite for breakfast!

Thank you so much for sharing about the buttonhole/sewing tip! I knit two neckwarmers, and that useful little tidbit enlarges my choice of buttons to sew on them!

Good luck with the costumes! Your sister's mittens are beautiful!

Thank you for the smart tip on the single ply of yarn for the buttons, very smart. I adore that bag. Sometimes there are just things you need to splurge on- :)
Happy Halloween!

Have you ever played around with baking your delicious cookies at higher altitudes? I've been massively gun-shy with baking anything since moving to Denver... :(

Those Mitts! I made a pair of "Toasty" recently and wore them for the first time on a recent trip out to New England. They were perfect for shopping and sight seeing! Thank you so much for the pattern! I think I'll give Those Mitts a try, too. And that bag! Wow! I got a thing for bags.

I used mohair recently to whip up a pair. I LOVE them. I have them posted on my blog for sale but having a hard time letting them go. Thinking I need to make another pair to keep for myself. ;)

The mits look comfortable and so fast to knit up!

Great tip...thanks.
Love that bag.

chim chim cheree! love it!!! (should've known Mary Poppins was involved).

i'm so grateful you mentioned that lion's yarn. i bought another -- their full-on wool -- last weekend for hte boy, and felt (didn't know it until i read this here) guilty for stooping to Joanne's. But the price WAS right, and the full wool felt quite nice, springy and soft and all the right stuff. anyway. confessions of a novice and all that.

love the hat.

Hi, Shelly! So nice to see your face (and cute mitts). Thanks for the button advice. I had never thought of that one either...

ahhhh...bag envy!
