I’ve been spending more time in the studio over the holidays than I thought I would. I thought that after the craft crash, I might enjoy a little time off. Nope. Want to work, want to play with work.
These made me happy. I was definitely smitten with the mittens. This was after I stopped swearing. A miscount in the number of rows for the rib cuff had me, dare I say it, ripping it back to correct. I was only about 14 rows in to the knitting when I noticed it, but damn, it still hurt my feelings.
The yarn is a hand spun and hand dyed 2 ply merino wool. The thrum is some hand dyed merino from my friend Jennifer (part of her giant destash before she left for India)
I core spun some wool today so I could make a non matchy scarf. I might be feeling weavie —we’ll see.
While cleaning today I found some more hand spun that I think would work great for mitts. Well that’s my evening planned. Did someone say cozy fireplace knitting?
