The latest issue of Knitty is up. I just love "Borough." This has been the first time I ever saw a project, queued it and cast on so quickly. I had been thinking about knitting myself mittens for a while now, and after the events described above, it only cemented how much I needed them. They're just about done too. I need to find buttons. I really want to check out the store, Tender Buttons, but I'm afraid it's a little out of my way right now. I may just plan a visit though, once I've started my new cardigan. I've got all the yarn for it. I need to start swatching and charting my pattern.
I paint a lot of pet portraits. Occasionally, I get asked if I paint people's portraits too. I do. I just love painting animals a lot more, so I don't have as many examples but here's my latest self-portrait. :)

Awesome portrait! I paint portraits too, but for me it was reversed -- I was asked if I did pet portraits. Now I do. :)
Yup, pretty awesome self portrait.
(For the longest time all I drew was slightly self-referential... Finally leaving that trend behind!)
May you find fantastic buttons for your mittens!
Thanks Nichole and Weird Amiga!
I did find some good buttons: Antique Brass, fairly simple and the perfect accent. Now I just gotta sew them on and take photos!
