After a long hiatus involving moving to Yellowknife, getting (two) new jobs, working full-time hours with both jobs combined five days a week for the first time in my life and a whole lotta computer drama, I have finally assumed some sense of normalcy. And that means knitting!
Still homesick as hell, though.
I started these as the cold weather seemed like it would never end (it's still unseasonably cold for May) but of course the weather warms up to mid-ten degrees as soon as I finish.

Wheeeeeeeee multicolored roving! Thrumming looks so cool- and is super easy. With all the extra thickness, the mitten is at least 1.5 times larger than your actual hand.
But even with all that roving (around 8 oz) these mittens wouldn't be warm enough the dead of Yellowknife winter- maybe spring or fall... or Halifax winter.
ALSO, how come nobody told me these existed?? And of all places to see them for sale- a small gardening shop off Kam Lake here in Yellowknife- along with a lot more knitpicks products. They were $80 but seem like a bargain as I'd be set for life for circular needles! I had to try hard NOT to buy them- only because I've already amassed a huge collection of circulars... and saving up for a major shopping trip in Edmonton. Some day, though.
