who knew - I can post more than once a month!
Or at least I hope I can. Here's what I've been up to!
On my last trip to Knit-Knackers they had in some mill ends yarn from one of their distributers. It is very tightly spun and just a smidge over fingering. It was cream when it came home with me but just a little Wiltons and I ended up with these.
I love the golden yellow (also the dye name). It came out perfect. I wish the teal had been a little deeper but it's working perfectly so far.
And here's what they are working in.
It is, of course, Enny's Endpaper Mitts. I have just started them but I'm already in love. The colours are working better than I could have imagined.
This pic also shows of my Mom's latest Value Village find. They are adjustable sock blockers (they are a little large but I can squeeze them down to fit my size socks). They show the pattern so much better than a limp sock.
It is a simple garter rib from SSS. The yarn is the real prize. It is a merino/tencel blend from Susan's Spinning Bunny the colourway is called
Anshan's Biscotti and it is lovely. The yarn made for some slightly uneven stitches but I'm sure they will even out with a wash and a wear.
I'm already on the leg of the next and can't wait to have them finished!
With any luck I should have a finished Kiri shawl blocked and ready for pictures next time round. Just realized I didn't take picutres of the scarf I promised from last time. Oh well - more incentive for me to get off my but and post more often!

Oh my goodness that yarn looks AWESOME, both on the hank and knit up. You are doing great on those mitts too! I'm so jealous!
