Checking them off my list!!!

I am checking those Christmas gifts off my list:) One more down 10 or more to go! I can do it:) I love these chunky mitts that I made out of Peru from the Bee:) I knit these in about three hours and that was with ripping back several times to add length. I loosely fallowed this mitten pattern but like always changed it a bit:) Thank you Michelle Porter for making the pattern available for free:) I am quite happy with them!

I finished some spinning!

I just finished up this skein on my CPW! I love that wheel! My friend Shelby over at Spinning Awesome Good dyed the fiber for me and I love how it turned out. I got 362 yards of a heavy fingering weight yarn! This yarn will very soon be a pair of socks.

New to me

I dyed a couple braids of SW Merino the other day in a way I don't normally dye! I think they turned out rather nice. They are making me want to spin:)

Finished:)

I finished my Gaia Shoulder Hug yesterday! I have had this shawl on needles for years! I love how it turned out. It is one of my Christmas gifts and I am so glad to have it finished.

The yarn is Silky Wool and it is all my scraps:)




Oh and Yummm! This was lunch yesterday:)

Fall

It is Fall here in the Pacific Northwest! I went for a run this morning and I couldn't resit taking a picture of the rain drops dripping off the grass at the Nature Park. So pretty in the early morning.



I finished a sweater yesterday and I just need to put buttons on it and then I will take some pictures for you all:) I am working on finishing a shawl and two blankets that have been on needles for a couple of years! I also had the hubby rip out a sweater yesterday that has been on needles for at least 5 years! I am going to make him a different sweater, that one was to large and that is why it was sitting! I only have a handful of projects on needles now and it feels great!!!!!

UFO's In Progress Again!

So I have not had much to say this last week because I have been working on UFO's! It also happens that both UFO's are blankets that will take some time to finish! I love both of them and am so happy to be working on them again.

The first one is a chevron garter stitch blanket that I am making out of 10 colors of Cascade 220! If any of you would like the pattern let me know, I can easily write it up.

The second is Mitered Squares and the pattern is free on Ravelry. It was designed by Chris de Longpré and is super fun to knit!


I also have some socks in progress and I have dyed lots of fiber for my shop! I have also worked a ton at the Knitting Bee in the last couple of weeks so I just haven't had much to show you in terms of finished objects:) I hope one of these blankets is finished soon so I can show you some finished pictures:)
