Matching Pair

It's a set! Just finished the mitts a couple of days ago. I had to modify the pattern slightly; cast on 28 sts instead of 24 - but it all turned out well. Just in time for spring... which is coming soon... right??!!

Sally Melville's Canadian Winter Hat

Just couldn't wait to try out my new yarn. This easy peasy hat pattern is from Sally Melville's The Knitting Experience Book 2: The Purl Stitch - The Canadian Winter Hat (and Mitts). I'm hoping to have the mitts knitted shortly :c) stay tuned.

Will Spring Ever Come...

Hard to believe Easter is just around the corner. This has been a long winter with record snow falls. Let's hope Spring will be warm and dry ;c)

I've been busy spinning and knitting as usual and have created these Celtic Fingerless Mitts with the yarn I had spun from my last post. I shall post the pattern soon.

This past Friday was our guild's spin day hosted by Kerry and of course, I couldn't help purchasing more hand dyed rovings from her. The colors are spectacular.

The top skein was plied back on itself while the bottom one was plied with brown wool. Cool, n'est-ce pas?
