Yarn ❤︎

It's been a while,

but I heard that today was

I Love Yarn Day,

and I thought it IMPORTANT 

- or just fun -

to share that I do

Still Love Yarn. 

And it loves me back, 

helping me relax 

and unwind

every day.

The One That Got Away

You could call this

The Cowl That Got Away,

 or maybe

The Cowl I Gave Away.

 I offered it to Groovy Girl

while I was knitting it

because the pink

would be perfect with her dark hair and eyes.

I never DREAMED she would take it.

She is a fashionista and this is a hand knit...

I had grown to like it for myself,

but as she carried it away

with a pleased, "Thanks, Mom!"

it was all good with me.

Pattern:  Last Minute Cowl
              free pattern from Churchmouse Yarns & Teas

Yarn:  SMC Select, Silk Wool

Naked Knuckles and Neon

If these were mine...

 I would have worn them today.

If these were mine...

 I probably would have been peppier today.

Guess I'll have to make

a pair

for myself.

Pattern: Purl Bee Ribbed Hand Warmers

(I modified the neon pair by extending the length beyond the thumb

far enough to make a cuff which can be rolled down to cover

the entire length of the fingers)

Yarn:  Grey is Madelinetosh

Green is Regia Fluormainia in Leaf colorway

Best of Both Worlds

I like fingerless mittens

because

they give me the best of both worlds -

the world where my hands are 

warm enough

and

the world where

I can still use my fingers.

Pattern: Maize

Yarn: Martha Stewart
