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!
