I've been knitting my fingers to little nubs this month... in late October, everyone asked for mittens for Christmas,
hand knit mittens. Actually, my husband requested his in November. No pressure. Anyway, I have managed to knit all but one pair of mittens and a pretty hat for my youngest girl. And most of a sweater for the Dauphin. I don't really mind! You know I love it!

Okay, I must know...who is the Dauphin?? You've piqued my curiosity because that is Gussy's nickname, due to his *ahem* interesting haircut. :)
