I'm sorry I haven't posted in a while. Have a flower.
I've been spinning. This is 4 oz of Shetland wool dyed and spun for a pair of mittens. Probably Fiddleheads. Maybe. I have one more ounce of color to spin: pink. Like bubblegum. Or pepto bismol.
These Selbu mittens have gone through two more transformations and have moved from Mutti's WIP pile to mine. The image near the live stitches is a spinning wheel. Fitting, no? See that little braid right after the cuff? That's a kihnu vits from Nancy Bush's book Estonian Knitting. I'm in love with braids and twists on mittens.
DJ sent me a skein of Blue Sky Alpacas Suri Merino. Love it. I'm turning it into a cowl with a traveling leaf pattern from Barbara Walker's first treasury.
I started another pair of mittens. Yes. I have a problem. This is a pattern I designed and have decided to call Delft mainly because whenever I think of Delft I think of water and the colors in this yarn remind me of the shadows on water and riverbank mud. Slap me if I get too poetic. More braids to come on this mitten.
I'll elaborate more later. Goodnight, for now.
