Yesterday I finished the mittens I have been working on. I used hand-combed Shetland from a fleece I obtained from
LaVonne Stucky. I embellished with some white Shetland from
Maplewood North and the inspiration came from
cosymakes who embroiders on her handspun items. I made up the pattern to fit my hands perfectly. It took a few tries, but the fit was pretty good in the end. These are my new Seattle Mittens for all the rainy gray days ahead.
Today I'm at Hastings in Great Falls using their free wi-fi. I wanted to start the
Baby Belle sweater so badly that I considered not setting the twist in the yarn. But I was a good girl and I took the time to soak and dry the skeins. The skeins dried in about 6 hours outside, so the wait wasn't that bad at all. This morning I rolled them into ball and started knitting the Baby Belle sweater.
