Feeling 'Girlie'

Ah, I remember when I was a little girl and got a pretty new dress. I'd dance and spin around in it, loving the feeling of wearing something pretty and new..................

Okay, not really - ALWAYS been a Tomboy and never have been into pretty dresses, I'm afraid. However I did get some amazingly functional and pretty new clothing the other day.

These....



Aren't they stunning???? I was almost dancing and spinning when I opened the box from Sarah McHugh.

On Sunday I took them for a 'test drive' ,,,,,,,


Yes, that is me on a snowmachine. Richard and I went out to watch the Iron Dog racers go by on the Yentna River. (It was actually a fun 'day off' - but don't tell anyone I said that).

...anyway....the mitts are incredibly warm. I'd been having a few issues keeping my hands warm earlier this year, but I think I have it all under control now!!!

Huge thanks to Sarah McHugh for working a good deal for me so I could have warm - and BEAUTIFUL - hands on the Iditarod.

Speaking of new gear, I spread the word over the Iknitarod group on Ravelry that you need a new mitten harness, and a friend of mine said she knows someone in her village who could make one. As soon as I get more info, either she or I will contact you ASAP. Do you have favorite colors?
