As promised I'm working on Smitten - A Holiday Garland. Mittens 1 to 16 are done. Mittens 17, 18 and 19 are knit but the finishing is still to be done. Mitten 20 is on the needles in Briggs and Little Anniversary Twist.
Over the last several weeks I've mused about how to number these mittens. Up until a couple of days ago I was resigned to duplicate stitching the numbers in a contrasting colour ... but then I found this. Cream coloured numbers have been ordered and are expected any day!
Just four more mitts to go and I'm determined to finish this week. I'm so looking forward to the part where I can just think about all the fun little things to put in them :)
It's work-in-progress Wednesday; be sure to check the links at Tami's Amis for all the updates!

Your garland is going to be so cute and festive! I love the idea of felt numbers. They're going to be perfect.
Those numbers are perfect. Can't wait to see your finished garland.
Great colors for the mittens in your garland. Looking forward to seeing in finished.
what a lovely idea, it's going to look so colourful and festive :-)
Holy cow... that's a lot of mittens! Rock on!
Wow! You are early. I remember that I finished H. little advent sacks on the 29th of November last year ...
But, oh, how I would have loved a calendar made of self knitted gloves!
Your garland is going to be soooooo adorable. The colors you've chosen make it bright and very cheery.
That garland is just too cute! I personally have yet to ever finish a pair of mittens myself (some weird mental block) so it's extra impressive.
Those are so cute! Can't wait to see the finished garland. So wintery!
Well done, almost there :)

Love the cute little mittens. Does something yummy go in them.
I so applaud your stick-to-it-ness. I would have given up after about 3!
