Off The Needles

Gobi fingerless mitts by Anne Hanson, aan exclusive pattern for BNK 2013. Will be released in 6 months I think. Coming up is FIFC 2013 but I'm not joining it.

On The Needles

  • Colours of Rain lace and cable top. Still plugging along, I have memorized the lace pattern so it's going faster.
  • Alpaca Sox Mini-socks, a free pattern from Classic Elite Yarns newsletter. I could just fudge but wasn't in the mood for math. Using Lorna's Laces Shepherd Sock in Pioneer colorway, leftover from making Timothy's socks.

    • I've kitted up three new projects to help me knit faster: my carrot on a stick. Another pair of child socks, Maia Shoulderette, and BFF cowl cocoon from Knitty.

    • Bought a Tibetan spindle on Etsy in preparation for TdF, can't wait for it to arrive. I've been practicing flicking on my Russian spindle, but I can't get it going for more than 7-8 seconds.
    • Have prepped 2 oz of Cormo, it was compacted so I fluffed it a little. Predrafting, but not making it thinner into pencil roving.

      • Tour de Fleece is in 6 days!
