This month I received a very exciting parcel that was actually a collaboration of a few brilliant minds. The package came with a huge project bag made with fabric designed specifically for the collaboration, an exclusive yarn dyed for the collaboration, and a special sock knitting pattern released only as part of the kit. The whole package is even better than I could have hoped. The yarn is to dye for gorgeous, the bag will be used for, basically ever, and the pattern, since I have it, I definitely will knit again. I love it all so much.
I started another new cross-stitch pattern. The new pattern is called Autumn Harvest Festival by The Frosted Pumpkin Stitchery.
Cast on and finished a sock that really felt uninspiring to me. It happens. The yarn I used was Sockittome Impulse from Estelle Yarns.
I've seen thrummed mittens before, but this was my first time attempting to make them. They are much easier than they appear to be and it was enjoyable to play with the fibre. I especially love how the hand dyed fibre create it's own gradient against the neutral charcoal of the main body of the mittens. I used the pattern Thrummed Mittens, Stuffed Mittens ...or Fluffies by Joan Janes.
Having recently acquired my first Schoppel-Wolle Zauberball® Crazy I was very excited to knit up some socks and I am not surprised that these worked up so quickly. The quick changes is the marled colourway really made me want to knit faster and faster to see what colour was going to be popping up next. I will absolutely be knitting more Zauberballs.
And because I finished two pairs of socks. My sock needles were empty and I had to rectify that immediately by casting on another sock. I've decided to knit one sock at a time, just to try it out.
My Color Affection by Veera Välimäki has been soaked and blocked and it ready to parade around town in this fall. Watch out trees, I'll give your leaves a run for their money wearing this showstopper.
Oh! And I ordered a kit. Apparently I am going to teach myself how to spin fibre with a drop spindle. (wish me luck ★)
