Easter knitting

I finished one fingerless mitt for my niece. I hope to have the other done by next weekend. So far, they are coming out beautiful. I love the yarn, its Manos 5ply, worsted merino. I love the pattern; Aegean Mitts by Amy Polcyn, from knitscene, special issue, winter/spring 2010. I just got so excited with the nice weather and first mitt coming out so nicely, I ran outside to take some pictures.

Happy St. Patrick's Day

Happy St. Patrick's Day. I finished my Irish Moss Toque a few weeks ago and have been happily wearing it almost everyday. I Love this hat. Not something you can knit without paying attention, but it's something to be treasured once it's done. It's knit with O'Wool Organic worsted weight yarn. I made the mistake of going up a needle size thinking it would fit my huge head better, but it has stretched and is a bit loose now. I have rewashed it and let it dry next to the wood stove (which works great) bringing it back to the right size for a while. I bought the pattern on Ravelry it was designed by Alexandra Charlotte Dafoe.

Looking back

I had forgotten about the scarf I made for my friend Carol for Christmas. I found these photos and realized I should blog it! So here goes… It's sweetgeorgia yarns "cashsilk fern" scarf. It's a free online download and its a lovely scarf. Although I have not bought anything from sweetgeorgia, I drool every time their email newsletter arrives.
I know someone does buy from them and she assures me its a gorgeous in person as in photos.I knitted Carol's from Jojoland Melody superwash 100% wool. The yarn was fine to use for lacework. I can't remember the colorway number, but it looked just like the colors my friend Carol wears and not surprising… she loved it. I have 3 skeins in purples colorway for myself. I don't know what I'll knit with it since I almost never knit the same thing twice?
