Egyptian mitten that is. It’s a bit snug on my hand but nothing like it was before I wet blocked it. I had sent my sister a message that it was too small for me, and she said that was too bad as it fit her. This is superwash wool and it loosened up a lot when wet. (Which I suspect is what happened to Robin’s sweater, as it’s pieces are much larger than the swatch said they should be.)
Not a lot of actual knitting going on at my house at the moment. The wrist is slowly healing, and I’m not going to argue with it. Doesn’t stop me from looking at patterns and pulling together yarn though. Kate Davies Sheep Heid hat and Rams and Yowes blanket are currently on the top of the list. I have a crapload bin of jumperweight Shetland and so far have found 6 of the 9 colors for the hat in it. I’m seriously thinking that the blanket would be awesome in in some DK weight natural color wool that I brought back from New Zealand and it will have the added bonus of being bigger to curl under in the winter.
The Ajiro Scarf has also caught my eye, but I’m thinking about adapting that one to the machine and simply sewing a seam. I have partial cones of black and cream alpaca that would work well. I’m still trying to find my copy of the Mt. Rose pattern from Dale of Norway. I have the yarn for this one and I know that it can be MK.
I haven’t posted in a while, what’s everyone doing?
- I am still working on finishing my second sock to complete the pair (hand knitting). I am still learning ...
