more mitts + a cowl
This isn't even all the mitts and stuff I've done since the last time I documented stuff... crazy. when the heck did I make these? I am not sure!
Some merino/silk handspun mitts and cowl. This yarn was ridiculously underspun, and has been sitting around waiting patiently for me to use it. There's another example of it unfortunately knit into an oddly shaped hat, which I really oughta rip. But then I'd have more of the yarn, and that would perpetuate the feeling I get that it will. never. end. It's lovely, just... so much!
the next two are also handspun - my own made from some merino/rayon blend that was great. then some merino that was kool-aid dyed and spun that I bought at SAFF. kool aid was fine, the spinning, not! sad knitting for this yarn. Ah well.
Next some deliciousness. Merino angora, from Jamie Harmon. Can't go wrong here!
Finally some yarn from the Catskill Merino Sheep Farm, bought at the Greenmarket in NYC. I really want to love this yarn, but the dye and grease tends to color my hands more than I'd like. The finished items are lovely, though. It's nice to knit with, aside from needing to wash my hands a lot.
Sadly, there are so many more things to photograph! I only wish I could focus my mitt-knitting mojo onto something more useful for me... say, sweaters! Ah well.
