Handspun Magnificent Mittens 4-3

Sat, 28 Jan 2012 19:32:59 GMT

Knitting Anna Zilboorg mittens is such a joy filled experience! For this pair I limited myself to the colors in November's Fat Cat Knits Mixed Blessing club fiber - quite a challenge since these are not my "normal" colors - but I LOVE these mittens!

More Mittens

Definitely on a mitten roll!
This pair is unbelievably soft and warm and with that beautiful alpaca fuzz halo and the sheen of silk, the yarn couldn't be any prettier!

Handpsun Striped Mittens

Off to a good start for the NaKniMitMo KAL (a great place for mitten inspiration this month!) I started these in November, but they've been sitting around without thumbs or tips for almost 2 months. I decided I had to finish this pair and one other partially done pair before starting and new mittens! LOVE them :)

I have been in Family Land for awhile, but am back with some pretty handspun socks.

Hmmmm

My limit is usually 3 - I think I've been deprived for too long - time to get it back under control.

Mawata / Silk Hanky Mittens

They turned out much prettier than I expected!

Handspun Seaman's Cap for Dave

Mon, 21 Nov 2011 14:28:37 GMT

I took the hat order from Dave - needed to be warm - cover ears, but not itchy on ears and forehead, enough head space so he doesn't need to stretch it down. I gave him fiber options and he picked this deep rich Spirit Trails Mixed BFL.

I've wanted to make a Darkside Cowl for years and have had the perfect yarn for it just waiting on the sidelines.
