Sandy & More Mittens

I found frost in the garden bed & on my car this morning!

I hope everyone is fairing well during this hurricane.  I count myself among one of the lucky ones; we only had high winds (up to 40 mph I believe) and are forecasted to have rain through Wednesday (starting last night).  Anyone else ready to hunker down and start living off-grid? 😉

>>Which reminds me of my husband: while we were watching the second season of The Walking Dead, he said he wasn’t worried about us (if a zombie apocalypse happened) because we’d have the big farmhouse with a dairy animal, chickens, hunt meat (maybe keep a few pigs/rabbits), can from our veggie garden and make all that we need (aka, what we’re working towards now!).

But today’s hurricane gets you thinking about what you would do if the apocalypse happened NOW, rather than later when you’re all prepared…  Anyone else?

At least our hands will be warm…

1 medium child’s pair, 2 smaller child’s pair,
& 1 adult pair.

Now that I’ve started to commit this 3-year-old’s mitten pattern to memory, I’ve started my first color set.

“Seafoam Green”… great, bright color for kids, right?

Thanks for all the well-reception.  They will be in the shop later this week!
