The pink mystery thing is starting to take shape. It should now be patently obvious that it is a Sock Monkey a la Blue Moon. This is one of the two kits that I picked up at Rhinebeck and I am trying to get all sock monkeys finished for Christmas for the small people in [...]

Just the Basics

In a fit of startitis, I cast on for some Xmas mittens. This pattern is Make One Yarn Studio’s Basic Mitt & Toque Set and the yarn is Zitron Nimbus. I don’t really know how this yarn will hold up as it is a single ply, loosely spun organic merino. I guess as long as the [...]

Pattern: Cigar by Keri Cadd Yarn: Louet Gems Worsted in Charcoal (just under 1 skein) & scraps of Dream in Color Classy in Spring Tickle Needles: US 5 (3.75mm) Mods: I made the [...]
