Because I get carried away, I always make one pass through the entire vendor building and then decide what I'm going to buy.
Last year I bought a kit and made these incredible Scandinavian style mittens, designed by Linda Hellberg George, based on her grandmother's pattern:
Straight out of a storybook, the cuff extends high up over the wrist, keeping hands toasty in even the coldest weather. I adore the silver button: 
This year I bought these hand-dyed yarns, created by Laura Macagno-Shang of Missouri. One daughter is getting the peach yarn with purple as an accent, while I might actually use the periwinkle for me:

You did a great job with the mittens.
I get a headache when I knit. Not sure why.
Dear Anna,
Thanks! That is odd about the headache. Wonder why that happens?
Thanks for the lovely comments. Yes, I am originally born in India. I went to a catholic school in India, where we were punished if we spoke in our mother tongue at school. That must have helped. You haven't heard my accent, so you didn't know :-)
I feel odd replying to you, referring to you as Lottery girl. Could I please know your first name? You can hit reply on this comment from your email. I will also know your email address in case I want to respond to any of your questions. Thanks.
