This week’s post was supposed to be Indie Gift-A-Long Week 2. However, I’ve actually made next to no progress on my GAL projects, in part because I’ve been working on this:
That’s right, there will be Cluaran Mittens and a Cluaran Hat! As soon as I finished knitting the Cluaran Cowl, I knew I wanted to put the thistle pattern on lots of other things. Because it’s me you’re talking to, there will eventually be a Cluaran Shawl; but these little accessories are as much as I could manage before the holidays. Yes, they should be out before Christmas! So these will be available for all your last-minute panic-gifting needs. Don’t ask me how I know such needs exist…
I’m using Miss Babs Yummy 2-ply in Sand Dollar and Black Salt. The pair of mittens used about 125 yards of each color, and I estimate that the hat will use a similar amount of yarn. If you wanted to just make mittens or just make a hat (the patterns will be published separately), then you could totally grab some Yummy 2-ply Toes and make either one.
And while this won’t be out before Christmas, I do have something coming up for crocheters—after Glimpses of Autumn released last month, some of you asked for a winter version with snowflakes. Be careful what you ask for, because you may well receive:
I’m excited to work these mini-skeins from SweetGeorgia into some tapestry crochet snowflakes!
Now that I just showed you all the work I have to do in the next several weeks (and this doesn’t include the secret projects I can’t reveal yet…), I guess I should quit typing and go do some of it now. See you next week!
