My newest project

Now that I've finished my shawl (which I love), I was inspired to start a new fingerless mitt. I am using Lion Brand's Vanna Choice, but I'm not so sure the mottle color will show the cable and the beads. Yes, this design will incorporate beads, my first!
I like the yarn, and the way it feels. But the color is another question. At least for this particular design.

My last Nicky Epstein book should be delivered today. My favorite of the 3 three I ordered, figures it's the last to be delivered. But, I did find another book I've just about fallen in love with. I might save up to get this one too. Knit One Knit All Elizabeth Zimmermann's Garter Stitch Designs A really nice book.

Since I knit that shawl, I've been itching to create my own pattern, so maybe I'll do that after the mitts are done, if I don't rip them out before hand.

Oh, and I wanted to thank the people who bought my patterns on Craftsy this weekend. Totally made my day! It was my first sale!
