Finished projects
| I've finally got around to posting some pictures of finished projects! Apologies in advance for the crap photos... blame my old camera that refused to actually focus. This is the hat I knitted my sister SIM!  My own "pattern" but it she has dreads, so it has 2 holes for pocking dreads out like pigtails. I also made matching "Hurry Up Spring" armwarmers from S n B Nation or whatever it is called. All made with Lamb's Pride Bulky (85% wool, 15% mohair) This is my papa's hat.  Losely based on another pattern from S n B Nation - Basic Cable. I made it from the softest of soft Plymouth Yarn, Baby Alpaca Grande - 100% Baby Alpaca. This started my obsession with Alpaca yarn, those Southern American critters sure have soft bellies. Next up, the scarf brigade! I decided that my Aged GP's needed some help with the cold English winters, so I set to task making scarves. First up, GPa - Here's a detail and full thing   The pattern is from S n B Nation (can you see the theme here?) and is the Mom's Sophistcated Scarf, using Karabella's Aurora 8 (100% Extrafine Merino Wool) Secondly, is GMa - Here's a detail and full thing   The pattern Warm Fuzzies from S n B Nation, using some more of that yummy Baby Alpaca, this time Misti Alpaca, Chunky (again 100% baby alpaca) Last scarf, for mama...   this one took a while, and is Midwest Moonlight from scarfSTYLE. The bulk of the scarf is using GGH Soft Kid (70% Super Kid Mohair, 25% Polyamid, 5% wool) and the contrast Beige - as there MUST BE BEIGE on something mama wears, is using Habu yarn - of course, I've lost the skein label - but its really nice Japanese stuff - I'm pretty sure its a silk / mohair blend though. On to the latest... Dr L's gauntlets  I now have quite a few "orders" in for these fellas. They are based on the Picot Edge Gauntlets pattern in the premier issues of knit.1 magazine, and made in Classic Elite Yarns, Miracle (50% Alpaca, 50% Tencel). Its the same yarn (but different colo(u)r as the never ending rib cardie I'm making for myself.) That's all for now folks Minty the knitter done for now.... |
