Oct. 12th Spending - and mitten pics

Total spent...$3.05.

While I was home I promised my little bro I would make a beanie for him, so I had to pick up yarn for that, and some for hubby too because he wants one too. I also got a few other supplies for another project that I'm going to try my hand at. I've gotten bit by the crafty bug I guess. I used up the remaining balance on my gift card which is why my total is so low.

Quick question: I'm looking for buttons for a project, any ideas where to get them for cheap? I haven't seen any at garage sales...

Well, as I promised yesterday, here's a picture of my mittens!


They are a far cry from perfect, and since they were my first pair, I followed the directions on sizing so they are a bit big on me. Hubby said they would make nice hot mitts though. Silly boy. I think if I used a smaller gauge hook, and actually focused on how many stitches I was making instead of talking they would be a lot better.

Hold me to it, I'm going to the gym tonight. I don't care if a monsoon come through, I have to drag my sorry A there. Hubby and I also have to go grocery shopping because we're pretty much out of everything I eat.
