Let it snow!
Pattern: Mittens with Cable Ribs from Vintage Knits by Sarah Dallas
Yarn: Debbie Bliss Baby Cashmerino in #602 Old Rose
Finally, a finished object! These were so easy to knit, they flew off the needles! I'm happy to say there were no mistakes in the pattern, and that the yarn was a pleasure to knit with. I used Debbie Bliss' Baby Cashmerino, which contains woolly merino and just enough cashmere to make it so soft! I have almost a whole ball left; I may buy another ball and make another pair. Maybe next time I'll change the cables to ribs, or extend them. Or maybe I'll buy another color and make stripes. So many possibilities!
The wonderful Mariko sent me some tart candy last week. Immediately after taking pictures I opened things up and ate 'em. I'm normally not a candy person (I prefer chocolate) but the bright colors and novel concepts (Gummy Fries!) got to me. Thanks, Mariko! (Fact: I helped on the Willy Wonka logo redesign some years back. We got lots of candy for "background research and discovery". Boy, were we bouncing off walls!)
Cute mittens! I looked for some wool cotton this week but the colours in the LYS were too yucky - might give that Debbie Bliss stuff a go - great colour!
As for the sweeties - yummy! (oops, that's your line..)
The mittens look great!
Yum. I haven't had fun candy in so long...plenty of chocolate, though!
The mittens are beautiful! Glad you got your candy. Since it's summer, I thought it best to send hard candies rather than chocolate. As soon as it gets cooler, though ...
so cute. i'll have to try those. great project recap views. love that!
and yummy candy!
Those mittens are lovely! Would you ever be able to wear them in California? :)
