I tend to do little bits of lots of projects rather than stay focused on one thing, if I have a choice. This weekend besides baking bread, cleaning a sewing machine, building my first rustic furniture, and doing a little reading, I almost finished my mittens, and started a cap.

In normal lighting you’d see at least shadows around the thumbs, but the camera flash really did make the thumbs invisible in this picture.
