I just figured I would make a little set. And that book in the backround is awesome, Domiknitrix, Lots of info I would have never thought about. Pretty cool patterns but over all a cool knitting book to have in your collection.
I started on hand knit holidays flip top mitten I just kept going and figured I would just make a mitten instead. I used Araucania Natures wool in lime green that Ac Moore had on sale and I paired it up some other purple yarn that araucania puts out not sure of the name. I did get the idea from good to be a girls web site hers were coming out great and I love mittens so I felt the need to make a pair.
All sewed up but I just have to add a few more squares to the bottom and then then make an I cord edge. I'm almost done. I used some noro silk garden and kuryeon its all mixed up, I think the picture does it no justice it looks much prettier in the person.
I love the colors in this hat Im so torn, I don't want to give it away as a Christmas present, Stan in the left corner likes the bonnet scarf he told me so. I don't know what to do. I made a few hats last week they are so easy and mindless this way I can watch TV and not have to worry about screwing up.
I refuse to buy any yarn when I have a yarn store in my house. I made the hat out of all the hand painted yarn that I bought a while ago from Uruguay its very similar to manos just a little more coarse. And the hat pattern is from hip to knit ribbed hat I just converted it in the round . And the bonnet scarf is from Knit 2 together and I used blue sky alpaca in chocolate.
I love staying home. I love rainy days in the summer. I love snow storms, I dont mind the cold too much, but it's changing as I get older. I love my parents. I wish I was smarter. I wish i furthered my education, Like college. But I do love my life. I keep it simple. I don't need much, Love food and water that's all . I Love my Husband. I love my best friend Carol, She is so crazy she makes me laugh and smile. I dont see my childhood friends because its so far away and I have set aside time to get to them. I can understand why they are mad at me. But Im too far away to visit. But Honestly I don't miss where I used to live. I hate it there. But I do miss my parents.
