Winter doldrums: I has dem. Can churning out mitts by the pound be the cure? Let’s find out.
Completed: The pair in that weird shade of dark olive brown Patons Classic Wool Merino. This yarn had been in my stash since ??? I do not remember buying it. I’m guessing it was one of the skeins I bought in my early days as a knitter, around 2005-ish.
It feels SO GOOD to use up all this old, unwanted yarn! Weird dark olive brown Patons: you are outta here!
Washed and dried and ready to have the ends woven in: this pair in a sort of dark rusty-orange shade of Cascade 220.
I think this skein was “only” about four years old. I’m pretty sure I got it in a yarn swap with my friend Dorothy. I had used little bits of it here and there in various projects, but never found a single project for the whole thing. Looks great as mitts!
And coming up next, a pair in chartreuse Cascade 220. Shown here in their infancy.
This might be my last pair of mitts for a while. Not because I am tired of knitting them, but because I am almost out of partial skeins of Cascade 220. Crazy, right?
Whatcha gonna do with alla dem mitts?
Ever tried one of those funky daylight lights?
Out of partial skeins of worsted? BLASPHEMY!
But NOW what are you going to do? Ankle warmers?
Instead of massive projects, I’ve started small this year. A pillow slip and a cat pillow have been completed so far.
