It's been since November that I've knitted anything! Gemma needed mittens, so I quickly knitted some up with the rest of the purple wool I had dyed for her hat last year. She loved them! Warms my heart! And thankfully they were done in time to travel to New York for Thanksgiving.
We didn't have any snow then, but they traveled north with us again in January. Gemma finally got introduced to sledding and snowman-making. It thrills me that she likes playing in the snow!
Then we came home, and as has been our practice on recent Saturdays, we bundled up and walked part of the way down the nearby bike trail instead of biking. It's not quite warm enough for biking, and Ruthie is too small for the trailer, anyway. Well. Somebody took off her mittens to play with leaves and other findings, and soon they were gone. My beloved jogged back a little way, looking for them, and we retraced our entire path on the return trip, but they truly were gone.
I hope somebody picked them up who can use them, because now Gemma is wearing heavy socks on her hands in the cold. ;)
And she did not get any pie that evening! (But neither did the rest of us . . . lately dessert has been ice cream!)
