Mittens were needed
when we were all harvesting
the crop of green reeds.

North: GREEN REEDS
river of #greenreeds
the water flows so sluggish
they make it all pure
South: MITTENS
snow on fingertips
they make my hands very cold
#mittens seal the warmth

Today we are launching the beta of EmDash, a full-stack serverless JavaScript CMS built on Astro 6.0. It combines the features of a traditional CMS with modern security, running plugins in sandboxed Worker isolates.
Awesome free mitten pattern over on Ravelry, sharing here for anyone who wants.

This morning's weather: -9°C/15°F, no wind
I tried out the new #mittens - they worked great! I think the temp will be about -16°C/2°F tomorrow... I have confidence these mittens will keep my fingers warm... although I might wear extra inserts inside the mittens.
#Relaxed run. Here's some highlights from the #playlist:
- Just A Song Before I Go, Crosby, Stills, and Nash
- Storms in Africa, Enya
- Annie's Song, John Denver
- Fast Car, Luke Combs
- I Give Up, Elijah Bossenbroek
My current WIP are the Tradition Mittens, by Sofia's tales. Apart from accidentally making them bulletproof (hit gauge with 'rauma 3-tråds’ (108m/50g) instead of ‘rauma finull’ (175m/50g)) I seem to have hit a bit of a snafu: they're too small (or my fingers are too long?).
I'm now weighing my options: agressively blocking them or cutting off the cuff, adding a bit of pattern and grafting. Anyone have opinions or suggestions on that one?
