Last Minute

I have an annoying habit of leaving things to the last minute. Which means that I spent this Mother’s Day knitting a pair of angora fingerless mitts for my MIL:

and working on a top I wanted to take on my trip with me:

I’m finally willing to concede that the top won’t be finished by tomorrow morning so back into the knitting bag it goes to await my return.

Now I’m off to finish packing. See you in a few.

    Have fun! Sadly, I cannot offer an advice on the procrastination. Happy Mother’s Day!

    It’s good to know I’m not the only one finishing knitted projects the day they are to be given away. :) Beautiful mitts! And the sweater looks like it will be lovely as well.

    You should bring the pretty green top so Michaele and I can ogle it while you’re here!!

    The mitts are gorgeous. And that top will be a great color on you once it’s done.

    Ooooh, lucky MIL! Lovely mitts (somehow that word just doesn’t do justice to the elegance of your little masterpieces!), wish I had a DIL who knitted…

    …But mine cooks and sews so that’s OK ;-)

    The mitts are lovely! Your MIL is a lucky woman.

    Nice top, that will look great on you.

    Were those mitts handspun? *swoon* They look so deliciously soft…
