Warm Fuzzies

Before I take off on my annual midwinter trek to Hawaii, I”d like to show you my North Dakota winter knitting FO’s.

Selbuvotter for my sweetie. The pattern is Annemor#13 from Terri Shea’s wonderful Selbuvotter book.They are knitted in Harrisville New England Shetland, on 2.75 mm dpns. They are my first mittens and my first go at colorwork. Both the recipient and I are pretty pleased with how they turned out:

Socks for both of us. His are blocked and ready for the gifting; mine just came off the needles. They are knitted in Lisa Souza’s Sock!. She named this fresh and subtle colorway ‘Giverny’. I was lucky to get some of the first skeins out of the dyepot. I think I have a first edition of a classic!

Warm fuzzy socks for my very own, in Mountain Colors Bearfoot. The colorway is Thunderhead. The yarn was a gift from Kerry, who knows that ‘color and cozy’ make the perfect match tor a northern winter. Thanks, Kerry!

Finally I’ll leave you with a little spinning. This is a 6 oz. skein of wool/mohair mill-end roving from Detta. I spun it on the Lendrum. I think it wants to be a scarf, or maybe a hat or mittens. Doesn’t it look right at home in a snowbank?

So today I will say “Uff da! It’s cold outside.” At the end of the week I’ll be saying “Aloha, Molokai!”
Happy holidays to all.
