This knit-along has been very, very quiet of late -- and I'm sorry. I guess mittens are not my warm-weather project of choice -- and apparently not yours, either. I can't remember the last time I saw a current WIP mitten in all of blogland! Soon enough, cool weather will return in the Northern Hemisphere and we won't be able to knit them fast enough!
I just wanted to mention that I've formed a Knit Like A Latvian group on Ravelry. I sent invites to all I could find. If I missed you, please look it up and join. If you're not a member of Ravelry, check it out and get your name on the list! There's no need for a blog, just an interest in knitting (or crocheting) and connecting. It's really a fantastic resource.
I also had an email from Lizbeth Upitis, herself, a while back (I know! Blow me over!). She's visited this here knit-along blog and was very warm and generous, and if there's ever a question...
All of a sudden, I'm in baby knitting panic mode, and that's likely to continue until August 9th (my sister's due date). What have you all been up to?

A knit-along for Latvian mittens, mostly, or whatever colorwork project you like! "Walk Like an Egyptian," "Walk This Way," even "King Tut" are all suitable knit-along songs.

I've been off the mitten kick too lately, but I'm starting to feel the itch to get back on. While having coffee this morning, I was mentally reviewing my stash and thought I would try spinning the yarn for the next set.
I love this blog! I was inspired by the Latvian mittens and the picture that Maia posted on your blog. One thing led to another and I've got two different pairs of mittens from the book Selbuvotter: Biography of a Knitting Tradition by Terri Shea. Next I'll try one of Lizbeth Upitis's designs....I've put my name in with Ravelry, but I think it's slow going with the invites....Once I'm in I'll look up the Latvian group...
Help! I need a pattern for mitts or gloves with a heavy metal motive - not skulls though. Any ideas anyone??
