Thank you everyone for playing along in my contest. Most of you thought I had enough restraint to wait until Saturday to cast on. Saturday is a work day for me and I don’t think I knit at all on Saturday I was so tired. There were a few of though that did guess the right day. Thursday.

There weren’t that many of you so I put all the names in a bowl and let the Boogie Baby choose.

I love that look on her face. It’s like she knows she’s picking the name for something good. And as for that blanket - yes, she almost always has it with her, and wrapped around her even in this 90F weather. uck.

This was the handoff, sort of:

She decided that since she picked the name, she got to keep it. So I read the name off and let her keep it.

Joni won! It’s a good worsted weight Merino that could make some plush soakers. Congrats lady!

The Mitten:

It’s a fun pattern and I really like how it looks. The only thing that irks me is that the cuff is so loose. It’s in the pattern that the cuff is 2 stitches wider than the hand. Normally I tuck the mitten under my sweater, I suppose with these I’ll be putting the mittens on top.

You would think I’d have more done on the mittens. I would have knit more if I hadn’t gotten distracted with the baby sweater or the baby herself.
