what has been on my hook recently

While we were at my parents, I bought yarn.  Mostly because I did not have anything made with me.  I had fiber.  I had a spindle.  But I did not have made yarn.  I also realized that I had not mittens or mitts with me.  I lost a mitt on our travels to and from Alaska.  That was so frustrating because of course they were my favorite pair.

When I bought yarn, of course I was tempted by much too much.  I made a hat, a headband, and two pairs of mitts.  The mitts above and a pair that did not get photographed in purple for the Tall Short Person.  I just added them to her stocking.   With the hat.  

My finished pair are above.  They are lovely.  I found a thickish yarn that was very soft.  Yes, they are not a normal color for me but I really liked the yarn.

This two tone pair was my work project since we came back.  The cuff is brown and the body is brown and yell.  Yes, I know it does not show up well.  These went to my Beloved.  I have another pair of this color combination on my hook at work again.  I have enough yarn to make another pair and they would be perfect for a co-worker.  

It has been nice to work on small projects.  I do get a little time in on my spinning wheel so I can make yarn for sweaters but not much.  I will be working on another sweater soon.  Something not quite so huge.  My boyfriend style sweater is lovely for cold evenings snuggled with a book but I feel like I need something a bit smaller to wear out.  Especially if I am going to put it over a sheath dress.  It is so big that people would think I was running around naked!
