mitten and scarf pic; things that make me go yum

Obligatory progress picture:



I finished the third pattern repeat on the scarf, and you can see where I am on the mitten. It's supposed to rain all weekend (again), so I may get lots of knitting done. Can I finish the mitten? Well, if I don't get too stir crazy from the weather, maybe it could happen.


A few days ago, someone posted links to some of my mitten pictures on her blog. Woohoo! I felt all special, and have been collecting some stuff for a karma returning good things post:

• I need to make these mittens.
  
• Another gorgeous silk corset, in a fabulous color. I'm happy to hear that Annie Modesitt has added some smaller sizes to the pattern, which may spare me some serious recalcuations when I make it one day. Yay!
• The petals on this knitted flower are amazing.
