Fingers

I have knit quite many pair of mittens in my life. These are going to be the first ever "gloves" in my life. Actually these are hand warmers but they do have finger parts like the gloves have. Also the thumb pattern is the one I have never ever before used. It does very good for your brain and mental health to learn new things. 

Potpourri

At the moment I am drying rose petals from my garden for home made potpourri. I must confess there's  quite fabulous rose scent at the moment in my sauna!

RainbowMaiden

Last summer I picked up this DMC kit I've had for ages. But at the end had not much time to stitch it and I found difficulties in stitching it. During past years my sight has got worse. Last summer I started to feel it is worse than ever. I have pair of new glasses now, since last autumn. Yes pair, I need two of them in daily use and the old ones for baking & cooking to protect my new ones from the heat damages. 

This summer I picked up this project again. It seems there is still not enough time despite I see it all much better now (16 ct dark blue Aida with several dark shades). But still, this is what I am stitching at the moment.

Something new

At the moment I am learning something new in knitting. This has been a long project despite it is not THAT difficult. I just have not had so much time for crafts because of LittlePii and my pedagogical studies which started in May. 

I started the project in April. Finished the first part in May before Pii arrived and my studies started. Since that I've been going on quite slowly. These are going to be hand warmers. Yes, I've done them before, but not like this.... 

Learning something new makes good to your brains and mental health! Remember to learn new things!
