using stuff up.
I got a handful of manos at a stash swap a few weeks ago, and had a little leftover from another project. Just barely enough to squeeze out some wristwarmers - right in time for more cold weather!

My friends had a baby a few weeks ago, and this was part of the outfit sent their way (matching hat was included!)... CUTE!! Yarn is Woolarina
Sport.

Oh! And a hat to match my mittens - from Helloyarn's pattern. Super fun, though my stranded knitting totally sucks! Was good for a while, but the top third got pretty loose! Yarn is the sport weight again... (left over from my mittens). I love how fast it goes!

It's a bit camouflage, really, but I love the bright colors! And the warmth of the hat! I knit the lining in the same merino yarn, but it's still a little itchy on my delicate forehead, so next time maybe cotton?? (seriously, merino? itchy? My head has never itched from my other hats... hmmm... maybe it's just a tighter hat.)

I think I may need to practice a little more before the Anemoi mittens! Or at least free up some needles so I can knit both mittens at a time and avoid completely different gauges... we'll see!
