First Fire of the Season...

The blustery weather yesterday prompted Mr. Man to light a fire for us last night.

I'm currently using this to relax...

And to keep these warm...

The cold has inspired me to make myself a pair of felted mittens.  So I photocopied my hands for size comparison and template purposes.  Yeah, I'm a dork.  I've also cut them out in cardboard.  Let's see how this idea of mine works out. 

I'm waiting for a pair of small circulars to arrive via mail so I can do some tight knitting in the round.  I'm not sure which felting process to use to make these.  Knit, then felt?  Or should I just grab some cloth and chunks of wool and get scrubbing to make felted pieces?

I'm trying to get Chris to set up our fireplace but since its been about 80 outside there isn't much point right now. I think the photocopied hands is a great idea.
