You just keep coming up with better and better FOs. What a cute pattern! And your stitches are absolutely perfect. I am going to have to work towards that.

Although Houston is fairly hot when it gets cool it feels really cold. It is the kind of cold that goes straight to your bones.

thank you Cherly, but no, no, no... see the difference between the top photo (my hand is inside - so it's smoothing all the stitches out) and the bottom photo (laying flat - so you can see all the bumps)
Blocking is the cure all for knitting - makes everything all better!
I definately wanted to practice more colorwork in addition to the mystery kal, so I couln't help myself and the pattern is so dang cute.
Practice, practice, practice. ;)

Susan: Colorwork is like lace. It looks rumpled and ugly until you block it. No worries! --PPoo

Sorry Susan, I'm new, but Cheryl knows her stuff. The stitches look perfect! The mitten looks like it's already blocked!

Anet, I'm glad you dropped in here. Susan's work is great. You might take a peak at all of her little monsters in the Holiday KAL. Each has a cute new little monster. Go here, here, here, here, here, here, and here. Susan is the one who forged the way with Mr. Foster. And her Hemlock blankets are beautiful. So don't let her fool you in anyway. It was really fun putting all of Susan's work together.
