Warm hands, less complaining

Well, I've made some progress on the hood, just, you know, not a whole lot. I've been distracted for a few days, knitting my first ever pair of full mittens and writing the pattern. They're not strictly A&S material, as I used purl stitch (whether or not this is period-appropriate is debatable) and didn't bother to look beyond a few period paintings and one photo of an extant child's mitten. Still, they may be able to squeak by in a costume review.

Now that my hands are suitably clad for the rest of winter I can maybe turn my attention back to tying up the loose ends on the hood and get down to business patterning my wardrobe for event season.
