Just off the heels of test knitting for Mary Anne Oger (great to work with her!), I received an email from a machine knitter/blogger in Germany asking if I would test knit.
I like a challenge and really love test knitting so of course I said yes. The pattern is for a single bed fully lined mitten. Kirsten sent me the pattern and off I went. All done in sock yarn (I used my odds and ends). Great pattern and well written. The mitten is much like Diana Sullivan's "Footnotes" (I was honored to test knit for Diana) but, a bit different. There are endless possibilities for patterning or color work one could incorporate in this mitten.
As soon as the pattern is available I will post the information here. Kirsten has recently started a very nice blog, stop by and visit:

As I mentioned a few months ago, I will be teaching at Rocking Horse Farms (RHF) in September. Starting to get my information together and so look forward to a trip to Minnesota where I can see some lush greenery!
Also, I was just contacted by a major movie production company in Los Angeles asking if I would accept a commission to knit sweaters for an A list actor (very famous) that would be used in an upcoming film. I promised to get back to them as need to decide if I want to take on that project. Exciting to say the least!
