Mittens and Shawls

I have been knitting even though I haven't been posting. I have made another set of felted mittens, this time with a different eyelash yarn and the effect is much better

I have also been working on Pacific Northwest. Here is some advice about lace knitting. Don't do it in a car at night. It is to hard to see if you are off on a repeat. Don't knit near dogs, or atleast not near dogs that you don't know very well, will knock you over and make you drop stiches. I am almost done with the wave section of the shawl but I can't work on it until I finish:
My brother-in-laws watch cap. He wants one just like he wore in the navy.
Pete's Hat
Other than that the only thing I have is:
15 days to knew spinning wheel!
I am still thinking about knitting the socks from the six-socks knit along. But I live in the middle of no where and can't buy and sock yarn or beads or needls or anything I want until we get to Colorado after Christmas. So I will be working on the shawl and a different pair of socks that still need to be fininshed.
