P.S.  Stay tuned on Thursday, I’ll announce some winners to our blog contests and will post a new one . . .

I mean for my Felted Door Mitten.  I polled everyone at UFO Night (those who hadn’t already voted online) and I received 2 votes for the green and 2 for the blue.  If I add these votes to the ones online the results are as follows:  Garnet = 1 vote; Hunter Green = 4 votes; Royal Blue = 5 votes.   So….  I will be making my mitten in blue (the first one anyway…)  and will embellish with swirls of white mohair (as in snow) with a sprinkling of beads for sparkle.  I envision a snowy winter twilight when I picture this mitten in my head.  I should be able to cast on shortly, and will post pictures when I’m done.  I can’t wait… I’m so stoked!

But still, no decision.  Those of you who know me know how anal I can be so what comes next will probably surprise you because….

This is where you all come in.  I have narrowed it down to three colors (Hunter Green, Garnet, and Royal Blue- see below, but note that the colors are a bit darker and deeper than what you will see) and I will let all of you pick for me.  Here’s what you do: post a comment telling me which color you like best.  I will go with the color that gets the most votes and then post the finished project here.   The nominees for Felted Door Mitten are:
Hunter Green 11 Garnet Blue 

A bit of background:  My house is buttercream yellow with an oak front door.  I have a white porch and no shutters or anything else that may argue with the mitten color. 

So, there you have it.  Post a comment and let’s get the ball rolling.  Pun intended.

Susan
