you want to see what I knittedededd?

Just to hold you over until I get all the secret mitten projects together and photo’d and placed properly. You think since we’re together so much as a group, this would be an easy task .. but it’s not. So, patience grasshopper.

In the meantime, I knitted this … It’s the Autumn Day Scarf in Berroco Ultra Alpaca. So so soft and well, I knit it for little Miss M’s Kindergarten teacher and when it came off the needles, it was hard to give up.

Here’s a hohum photo, but it shows the pattern much better

Scarves.. they are a gorgeous accessory but hell to knit. They never freaking end.. the same rows over and over and over. Not my favorite thing to knit – but well worth it in the end. As Mia’s teacher told me yesterday, she wore it over all of break and got oodles of compliments. She says “I would tell everyone, would you believe a parent of one of my students made this for me!?” You might call it brown nosing the teacher, I call it showing appreciation for a job well done.

Then I finally made a Foliage.

This is made out of Lambs Pride Wool/Mohair. Bulky. This was made for Mia’s assistant teacher, which was well received also.. they are both awesome teachers!

Then, last but not least. Frances.

She is a fun fun little monster. Who enjoys reading and doing yoga. The kids and I are going to package her up and Frances will become part of the Toy Society Toy drop. I’ll post about that when we get that done, we have the spot all picked out – now we just have to get there! But, isn’t she just the best?!

So, on to more knitting in this new year. New challenges, new projects, more yarn love!
