My Leafy Mitts

I had such a lovely weekend at my cousin Susan's. Morgan and I drove down on Friday and home on Sunday. While I was there, besides having some wonderful meals (I now have a really yummie new Quiche recipe from my sister-in-law Barbara), I almost finished one fingerless mitt for myself out of Handspun I bought from DebbieB called "Easter Grass". When I saw the yarn pictured in my ravelry groups I just had to have it. The bits of color poking through the green - lovely. The pattern, Leafy Mitts, is the same one I used for my sister's Christmas present.

I might end up with a bit left over after the mitts to play with too.

I finished up knitting Hannah's Hat, need some more felting on that.One run through the washing machine was not enough. I only put the swatches through once but I didn't put them in a bag first. Maybe I will run the hat through again without a bag. Pictures coming soon on that!

Knitting in 2012

Actually, the knitting was the end of 2011 but I seem to have missed taking pictures of a lot of my Christmas knitting. Here are the fingerless gloves, Autumn Mitts, I knitted for my sister out of hand spun 2 ply Shetland from Spunky Eclectic a club fiber in the colorway Pomegranate. The pattern is Leafy Mitts by Ruth Stewart

I also took a picture of my finished Corinne sweater with the crocheted neckline to keep it from stretching. I am so happy with how it now feels - I wear it regularly and am in the process of picking out the fiber for my next hand spun sweater!

Still spinning SCF Tendrils for my next socks and have fiber beamed on my Harp - just need to finish the threading.
Have to love a month that starts with lots of fiber fun!
