Lots of moss stitch and double moss stitch recently

as I knitted scarves for a charity drive.

The best part of this is a colleague who has not knitted

for over 20 years picked up her needles again!

She knitted six scarves and enjoyed it.

There's no stopping her now :-)

NEW YARN

These are a few of my animal friends.

 

They have something to tell you.....

 

Well, I didn't forget the double-pointed needles (DPNs).

 

I went to two stores, both did not have the 3.25mm size I needed.

 

So I will have to go back in a few weeks.

 

And when I do, I will visit the yarn section too.

 

I'm sure these animal friends would be very keen
to update you if I do buy more yarn, which is a real possibility :-)

KNIT: MITTS

I knitted a pair of mitts.

It'll be a gift to a colleague, whose office is very cold.

I worked out of that office for a week recently.
 I shivered and shook through all five days.

 

The ones who are there daily have adapted and
wore light jackets with sleeves rolled up!

One slipped on a pair of fingerless mitts only on
the COLD morning we started work at 5am.

It was store bought, made with acrylic yarn.

I told her I'd knit her a woollen pair.

I'm happy to do this.
Firstly, because she will use it.
Secondly, this will reduce the stash.

 

The yarn is 100% superwash merino wool, 8 ply.

 

“Runrig Muffatees”,  http://www.anniecholewa.com/p/atelier.html.

 

The pattern is “Runrig Muffatees” from  http://www.anniecholewa.com/p/atelier.html.

It's free (thank you!).

I used a thicker yarn than recommended.

Cast-on 41 stitches, 4mm needles.

It took just under 100 grams of yarn to knit up this pair of mitts.

A quick knit, too (for me),....eight hours.

 

It's a lovely pattern. The picot edging is an elegant detail.

 

I enjoyed knitting this.

It will be passed on to my colleague later this week.

Hope she'll like it.
