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

BOKU Longies in the mail!

During the Black Friday/cyber Monday time frame I had a drawing for a free YYMN slot & the winner was Rachael.

She mailed me some yummy “BOKU” by Plymouth Yarns (Very similar to Noro)  I really like how the colors flowed.  I was working with multi skeins so I was able to match the colors pretty close for the legs.  The patterning changed right when I started the ruffle but I kinda like that…I hope Rachael does too.

There was just enough left to also knit a coordinating hat. The set has been lanolized and shipped this morning.

Also on the needles is “The Amanda Hat by Gina House” A custom knit using Shasta Daisy Knits “Hoot Owl” to coordinate with the custom “Bella’s Mitts” I made last week.

It’s much further along at this point than this photo shows.

I hope to have it in the mail tomorrow (Fingers crossed).

Stay warm out there!

Katie
