Lynne has a wonderful project going on now, you can click on the mittens button in my sidebar and read more about it.  I'm trying to finish up as many charity projects as I can before I get started on gifts for the holidays, but sometimes I get a little overwhelmed.  There are so many people who need so much, but there are also so many friends and family that I want to make things for.  Sweaters are out, they take too long.  Same for quilts and afghans.  So I'm going to crank out as many pairs of mittens and children's socks  as I can before next Saturday, to send to the East Coast and Afghanistan, and then I'm going to start the Christmas factory.  Look out, people!  I've also got 250 cards to make...

Those mittens are just too cute!!!

Overwhelmed is how I'm feeling. I decided to knit gifts and charity items throughout the year, but that hasn't worked as well as I'd hoped. I do have a few nice gifts ready, but I'm just now thinking of all the things I'd really like to make for people. I had toyed around with the idea of making Christmas cards, but decided against it. You're a brave woman! :)

What cute mittens! And a wonderful project. I wish I'd known about it earlier. I'll start knitting for next year.
250 cards! Wow! I used to try and do that but then I decided to only make cards for the closest people and buy cards for the rest. Much less card stress.

Such sweet mittens! I love that pattern. Thanks for the "shout out" Michelle!

Well if those aren't the cutest mittens ever then I don't know what are!

ACK 250 cards!!!!!! Oh my, the Christmas factory will be working overtime for sure!!! Wow. I hope that you are able to get to everything that you would like to. Those mittens are darling. Love them!
I will have to check out the charity link (I try to include that in my Christmas knitting, especially hats since they are really fast).
