The cross-stitch pattern I started last month has been completed and even framed. The pattern was called Autumn Harvest Festival by The Frosted Pumpkin Stitchery.
I finished my mittens using the pattern Thrummed Mittens, Stuffed Mittens ...or Fluffies by Joan Janes and they really are divine. They will for sure ward off the evil cold and keep my hands toasty warm, unless they end up getting gifted away. Which is very likely to happen. I've had a few people mutter interest in snatching them.
I had an extra couple skeins of yarn leftover from my Mama Vertebrae and went searching down the rabbit hole that is Ravlery. The result is that I successful found a pattern that both appealed to me and used the yarn up. And now I have a toque on my needles, which is Molly by Erin Ruth.
I made a GAP-tastic Cowl by Jen Geigley for someone who requested a scarf that could also double as a hood. This was definitely a bit of a slog, lots of repetitive knitting in the same colour without any changes happening and not really something I would chose to knit for myself, and to be honest, I'm not sure the recipient it even that thrilled with it. Oh well, I tried.
On the bright side, I think I got the hang of this drop spindle spinning technique and I'm quite enjoying the process. The drop spindle that came with the kit leaves a lot to be desired and the hook at the top keeps popping out as there seems to be a small crack in the head. I think I can remedy this with some online shopping!
That's it - Happy crafting! Nic ♥
