Mitten's Made For Walking

So I made some mittens for my grandma out of handspun merino:) I think that these are just her colors:) I hope they keep her fingers warm for her winter walks. I had enough yarn left over that I am making some fingerless mitts for a friend and I should be done with those today:)Woot! That Christmas list is so almost complete that I have started adding people!

Randomness!

I am blogging from the fencing center and on the fly:)

I spun up some singles last night! To me they are thick but I still think they are only DK weight. 264 yards merino and silk:)Obviously before it is not set:)

We woke up this morning to a fairly hard frost:) I love it:)



Oh and I am now at the fencing center watching my boy compete:) Go Gregory:)

Grandpa's Gorge

So I knit up a quick hat for my grandpa a couple of days ago. He is one of those guys that doesn't like his ears covered all the way so I made it a little shorter then I normally would:) The yarn is handspun dyed and spun by me:) The colorway is Gorge and I really like how it knit up. I have enough yarn left over to make some mitts for someone! Love it!


Oh and that is my biggest guy Gregory modeling it and we pulled it all the way down on his ears because he likes his hats lower then Grandpa:)

I Was Informed

I am at the end of knitting all my Christmas gifts and this last week I had to knit up some Mittens for my little man. So I said to Elliott "What color mittens do you like?" I was informed that he would like "mitten colored mittens, you know mommy grey"! Just when I thought I was going to knit with some color!

These are my little mans mittens, he will get them for Christmas.



The Christmas Knitting is going great! I only have a 5 people left on the list and three of those projects are started. Two are 1/3 complete and one is 2/3 complete. I pared down the list quite a bit this year to make it manageable. I still have like 25 people but I took off at least 10!

Playing around!

I was playing around in my day studio and came up with a couple of new colorways. Not sure if I will keep the bright one but I love the dark one and have named it Hubby! I think my Hubby needs some socks!

I revamped the new website! It looks much better and I am still working on it. I will be adding products all the time:) Pop on over and let me know what you think I could really use some feedback:) Trish

More socks:)

I just finished these socks out of Malabrigo Sock. I love how this yarn feels knit up. I think these turned out quite well! The hubby is begging for them:)
