Vanier Cup Victory!
So, the trilogy of playoff games ended today with the Vanier Cup being played in Quebec City. The superfan and friends went up to watch in person, while I stayed home and watched with family. As usual with Queen’s, it was a close game, but they came from behind to win by 2 points with the last quarter being played against the wind. It must have been so exciting to be at the game. I’ll hear more details when the superfan returns tonight.

I was knitting my illusion mittens while I watched the game. I’m not sure if they are the right proportions to fit anyone; they are definitely big for me, but my hands are small. It is so exciting when the illusion starts to become visible. I think I’ll have fun making more patterns like this. This is what it looked like before the game.
when looked at face on, the pattern is hidden!
By the end of the game, all that was left was the thumb.
It’s a plain old striped mitten….until viewed from an angle. See the starfish?
I’m going to spend some time this evening spinning up some wool dyed by the girls last week. The spinning wheel goes on the road tomorrow morning for them to give it a whirl.
