I finally finished my mittens, and then the hot returned. It really is not so bad. Perhaps the only reason I think that is because I have these wonderful new mittens. I do love them, and it has only been a bit over a year since I started them. The pattern is Sea Mineral Mittens by SpillyJane. I changed the thumb because I think they are more comfortable this way. While the way they are done in the pattern (peasant thumb) is just so very matchy-matchy, I think I did well enough with the gusseted thumb. Now I just have to wait until I can wear them.
With the mittens done, it was time to dive into the stash. I was looking for yarn for some future knits, but more about that another day. At one point, I was going through the lace bin, and removed the handspun yarn so it could live with its own kind. Side note: I have a good bit of handspun at this point, and I am considering a NoMillSpunNovember. Anyway, I found some more lace in other bins, and the next thing I knew, I had trouble getting the lid on the lace bin. If that is not a sign to cast on for new lace, please don't tell me.

socks with twisted and traveling stitches and so does this shawl, this Malabrigo lace yarn is so pretty and soft, and it has been too long since I have had lace on the needles. I have already made it through the foundation charts and am on to the main ones, and am quite enjoying the knit.
