Took some pictures last night of some recent FOs. Ravelry has been a godsend since someone posted how to find the HTML in flickr to post their photos. I really have to play around with flickr more. I know I’m not using it to it’s full potential. First off is the Hallowig. Nana loved it. Everyone thought it was hysterical. Size 8 Addi’s and Cascade 220 Superwash. I taught myself magic loop on this. Not bad, but I think I like dpns better.
A simple intarsia hat. I love fishes. Pretty huh? Leftover Woolease in assorted colors. Wait, I think the blue was leftover Cascade 220. Ah, stashbusting. You are my friend.
Next up is the Yarn Harlot’s Unoriginal Hat. I was planning on using the Reynolds blizzard that my sister got me for this. But to try the pattern first I thought I’d use some….. STASH. I have some “old people” yarn in black. Both were aran weight so this hat is a wee snug. And the acrylic nature of if makes it a wee itchy. But I like it. It was only my second time doing cables. And I used the 2 circ method at the top since I didn’t have dpns that size.
Now onto the current project. Peekaboo mittens.
I love this yarn. It’s from Iron Horse Farm where Debbie Smith does everything, she dyed and spun the yarn herself. From her own animals no less. It’s pink/purple with a metallic magenta fiber in it. It’s Shetland/Mohair/Angora. Gorgeous. When I saw it at the Sherborn Fiber Arts Festival – it jumped off the table and said “Make me into something for your sister” I know I make my sister a lot of things. Which is weird since she is always so hot – I swear her baseline temp is like 198. Anyway, I’m making Karen these mittens. They are working up so fast, it’s crazy. No new skill with this project. Except that I decided I hate purling on dpns. But I love ribbing. My life is a series of contradictions. But tonight. Tonight is when the real fun starts. Karen and I are going to the opening of Bass Pro Shops in Foxboro tonight. A couple of the Patriots are going to be there. I’m so excited. I have about $30 if I see something I HAVE to have.
