As promised, a windowsill update. I have rearranged and rethought the contents of the window, and took out the things that didn't have an intended recipient to remove temptation :) I can always knit them afterwards if I think of someone who would like them.

Note that the Fair Isle mittens have been axed. I am not sure what I am going to do with them. I might finish them and felt them down and donate them to Streetknits, but I am not making any promises. Some of you know how many single sock skeletons I have in my closet!

Is it wrong of me to love these mitten so much?

They are so happy and green that they make me smile every time I see them! I hope the recipient feels the same way!

Now, on to the calendar pictures: Chappysmom wants to see November calendar pictures. I have proof that not all November pages are dreary:

That was my mom's calendar. It is so bright and cheerful that I love it in my kitchen. The pictures deserve to be framed!

This is my favourite calendar:

Postman Joseph Roulin 1888 (Van Gogh)

Not as cheerful as the first one, but I love having a different Van Gogh each month.

This is Mike's calendar:

First Snow, Georgian Bay (A.Y. Jackson)

I suppose that it is a little dark, but it is not an inaccurate rendering of Northern Ontario in November, and this year it is a good reminder that the current weather we are enjoying is not to be taken for granted!  (place your mouse on the calender pictures to see the name of the painting/flower)

This is all for today.  I am working on my windowsill, plodding along.  I am in a knitty mood today, so hopefully I will have further updates soon.

Thank you thank you!

It is moving along nicely. I know there aren't any sweaters on my to-do list, but there's a fair amount of yardage here.

Odessa is coming along nicely right now. I love this pattern!

Those mittens look great.
The windowsill projects no longer look daunting.
If you have only done one fairisle mitten, why don't you felt it. Or use it as a Christmas mitten for Phlox rather than a sock for his Christmas treats.

Yes, the windowsill does look a little less scary, doesn't it! I have to knit the mitten a thumb no matter what, but the Christmas decoration is a good idea. Phlox doesn't need any more treats, he needs a few laps around the block... he is getting pudgier!
