Well thank goodness we're actually married because I have admitted defeat and given up on the Second Engagement Diamond Mittens that I was knitting for Tim. The mittens were one of my three projects dating from the year before last and I had chosen them as the first that I would complete. Here it is mid-February and I had knit only a couple of rounds and finally realised that I just did not want to make them anymore.
I have committed instead (and anew) to Tim's Great Garment of 2011 (the one that I was supposed to make last year but just didn't get around to). I'm planning to knit
Jarrett by Kim Hargreaves from
Rowan's
Vintage Knits in Cascade 220, shade Walnut Heather. Lots of soothing stocking stitch, I'm looking forward to the yarn arriving.
Now I just have to work out whether I can face
those socks and
that stole.

Does Tim get a great garment every year? I just finished Dmitry's GG of 2011, and thanks for the loan of the blocking pads that made the dream sweater come true.
