Mason's Christmas sweater was finished on time... and he wore it to Miss Brittannie's surprise birthday dinner at Macaroni Grill. Thanks, Manny (i still love you, Manny... sorry about that!) and family for the road trip and awesome time we all had - -Good job, Manny!
I found this pattern on line - -Chromosome Cap - - and thought that Ashley might like it! I was excited to send it with Tom and Matt since they were going to Colorado for the book meetings. She got it... and loved it!!! She said that she is going to show everyone at work! I am glad she liked it! Whooo hoooooo!
Now that winter has set in - -and we have had our first official "below -20 snow day," it was time to knit some warm stuff! Over Christmas break, Ashley and Steven dropped me off at Yarnia when they went to run errands. They came in to get me and saw thrummed mittens. Melissa explained how they were made, so I bought the unspun wool and hat yarn to make some cozy hats for them.
The outside:
The yarn was glorious... Rowan Scottish Tweed Aran...chunky and wonderful to hold! Adding the roving was not too much of a problem!
This was one of those times when I was super happy to be kinesthetic!
The inside:
I found out that men without hair wear theirs inside out! Now, won't that be a picture?
Projects on the needles now: Brittannie is doing a community service project for people with mental health issues. So, Heather and I are making scarves!
Hoping we can get enough of them together to make a warming difference!
