Shorties Stocking and a Custom

Stocked to the Katidids Etsy Shop large shorties sing Mosaic Moons “Seadragon”

Looking back through my notes I think this was one of the first “Mosaic Moon” skeins I’d purchased.  It had been buried in the wool bin till the other day…

Knit on Targee a nice sturdy & long wearing wool.  They are lanolized and ready to ship.

 

A YYMN custom

Star Crossed Slouchy Beret by Natalie Larson

knit using squishy & warm Manos del Uruguay Maxima

The hat was knit to coordinate with her “Bella Mitts” knit earlier this month.

 

On the needles now is a YYMN “Butterfly Cowl” I should have completed this afternoon & a pair of shorties that are waiting for the ends to be woven in. I hope to have them stocked Monday.

Hope your having a great weekend!

Stay warm out there

The Amanda Hat, Ready for the mail

Talk about a handful of squishy yummy-ness. Knit to coordinate with the “Bella Mittens” . I think this was the perfect combination of pattern and wool.  The Amanda Hat & Shasta Daisy Knits bulky

“Hoot Owl”

  It was an interesting lace pattern to knit

This hat is not designed to hug your head, rather just slip on.  The brim is designed a tad longer than most to provide extra ear protection.

Well, I think this is the last of the custom knits until the first of the year

Time to get something done for my own family and reintroduce myself to my wheel “Joy”

It’s been about 9 months since I broke my foot & had to quit spinning before I really got started.  This next week is “play” week for me

Wishing you and yours all the Blessings Christmas brings

Trying To Clear the Needles

This year I plan to spend a few days during Christmas knitting for us. But, to do that guilt free, I’m finishing up a few customs.

My first ever cables. 

This year, one of my goals was to learn to knit cables….I’d done a fairly good job ignoring that goal…..and almost made it to years end when I was asked to knit these gloves by a very good customer of mine…how could I say no! 

Bella's Mittens by Marielle Henault

Using Shasta Daisy Knit’s “Hoot Owl” on bulky merino.

These are so soft and squishy~ Super warm and comfy. 

They should be in the mail tomorrow if they are dry

And wow, I sure wish I’d tried cables earlier than this, they were so easy!

 

And matching shrugs for Evie and Alix.

Erika requested washable so I used Lion Brand Vanna Solids with the pattern

“Something Beautiful” Shrug from DaKine Knits

and accented with sweet Tessa Ann Buttons.

Now to see if I can get the matching skirts sewn!

 

Also on the needles are longies for the YYMN Custom Knit winner.

The mama sent me 3 skeins of Plymouth Yarns BOKU

I started these this morning and am at the gusset now.  I should have them ready to ship by Monday

I’d better get to knitting while I can as it looks like we will finally get our tree up to night!

Stay warm out there!
