Lots of things happening around these parts these past few days, a bit of a shock after my recent inactivity.
So yesterday while I was waiting and waiting to submit some paperwork I started the requested mittens from the yarn I showed a few days ago - the colour is more true in previous post.
Well as I was in the neighbourhood I called in on some excolleagues and while I was there catching up on all the office gossip, I kept my hands busy. Ok so I can talk a lot in real life too, and by the time I left the office one of the Mitts was as good as done.
I made the matching one in the evening ready to be delivered to their new owner this week.
Today I had an all day training session - big yawn!!
To keep myself awake in the morning, (unlike my colleague next to me who took a nice nap) I kept my hands busy and got this little number done.
Yes, it is miniature - a baby sized crocheted beanie.
As you can see I had yarn leftover and as I finished before the lunch break I was thinking I should have made it bigger.
The yarn is very pretty and not plain white at all but with subtle shades of pink, blue, lemon and purple, it also has a sparly thread through it. No clue as to its identity as it came in a mixed bag none of which have labels attached.

Don't you love it when you can achieve 2 things at once. What a great idea for those training days, I often struggle sitting still! I love that wool of the beanie, Mum used to knit a lot of booties out of it, so nice for newborns with just a little bit of color.
Someone fell asleep during work training...yikes!
I think I like your idea of keeping your hands busy to chase way the boredom.
Very cute little hat and your mittens look lovely. (Great colour!)
I am so ready for some warmer weather...

I think you have to make the most of being stationary and keep those hands moving lol. I would.
Hope you get more crafting done this week.
