Picture of a House (or Cathedral)
On Friday, I took a day off. I relaxed a bit, watched some Winter Olympics on the internet, and did some more of The Boy's pirate mittens. Here is a progress shot.
Yesterday The Boy's parents came down to visit and took us for a drive. First we went to Cheddar, through the gorgeous Cheddar Gorge. We visited the Cheddar Gorge Cheese company, saw how cheese was made there, tasted a selection of cheeses and pickles, and then, inevitably, bought some cheese.
We drove onto Wells, had a pub lunch (I had baked vegetables topped with cheese, mmmm) and then went to look at the amazing cathedral. It was pretty impressive.
Today we stayed in, it was a great day to stay inside and knit, horrible and rainy outside. I spent some time downloading new podcasts, and then listening to them while I finished my mitten. I think I mentioned it before, I knit it out of my Holiday SP Nederlass's gift. I first knit one using the SnB flip top mitten pattern, modifying it so that it wasn't a flip top. But I just wasn't happy with the finished object. So I started again using a pattern out of a book I got for Christmas, Holiday Knits. It is knit on MUCH smaller needles, making the fabric denser, and looking a lot neater.
Okay, now just have to do the next one...

Awesome mitten!
Ok, one of these days, we're going to do a Second MittenAlong, alright? I still have an unfinished pair of Forsa mittens from Cornelia Tuttle Hamilton's Noro book. One down, one to go!
Yours looks gorgeous!
