Skully mittens
September 19th, 2006 by Cecilie | Filed under Knitting, Random.Emerald is enabeling me again, this time for intarcia mittens. Last time it was for lace shawls (resulting in both kiri and my olympic flower basket)
She´s been making stuff out of these patterns, and just look at her things… I crave having my own skully socks and fair-isle skully mittens… And thinking about it, I probably have some Dale of Norway-Hauk in my stash, if not, I know I have some Falk… (let the knitting completly consume me)
Christmas/Yule knitting:
I’ve started thinking about it allready. And this year I’ll probably limit myself to 4-5 projects, I think I said the same thing last year, but this year, everything is going to be different. Knitters has to say that, don’t they? Problem is that I don’t want to knit things for people this year, I don’t want to make them stuff. Most of what I did last year has been used once either because it itches, or it made their head look funny or…. I don’t know. Depends if I can afford gifts at all this year, with my current lack of economy to speak of, it dosen’t look like it… More rambelings on the subject will probably come the next couple of months. If I don’t just say “feck it” and only knit for myself for a while (the next decade maybe).











It only takes me about three evenings to finish a pair of pirate mittens, so you’ll probably have them done in a couple of hours, you speed-knitter you!
I’m totally impressed by your pomatomus btw, I would never be able to dig up the patience to make something like that! Oh, and everytime I think about my dream knitting project, a knitted sweater, I think about the beautiful kofte you knitted - so you inspire me too!
