And the Mitts Go On

I thought it might be fun to post a pic of the recent crop of baby mitts: 


The yarn for the two pairs on the right was specially dyed for this purpose by Neuro!  (The purple yarn is left over from an earlier sock project.  The body of the mitt is made with Franklin - I go through about a pound of it every 14 months or so, and will be very sad if Webs ever decides to discontinue it!)

I used to bring a pair to work each Monday and leave them with one of our actuaries, who is married to the head of our local NICU.  She in turn would bring them home and pass them along to her hubby; he would pass them along to the NICU nurses, and they would put them on the the babies.  I haven't yet figured out a good way to deliver these now that I'm not working there anymore, but in the meantime I will continue to make about a pair a week.

Colorful Booties and Socks

Image
It is the Year of Colorwork, but mostly what I've done so far is produce a few color ful items!  I've been making this baby bootie pattern for years, mostly from leftover sock yarns.  This particular yarn is what remained from last fall's Flamewalker Socks .  That these booties stand up all by their jaunty selves makes them particularly appealing. These are  Crazy For You socks.  They haven't told me yet exactly whom they are crazy for , but I'll let them ponder that for a while.  It appears I may have caught a bit of Knitting New England's Tangerine Tango  with all of these orangey colors!

Wingspan, Part I

Image
I have two skeins of Classic Elite Alpaca Sox yarn that absolutely refuse to become socks. They pool, they gap, they otherwise cry and carry on in all sorts of ways. So, they are becoming Wingspans instead. I finished the first one last night, and cast on the second one this morning. They are, indeed, a pleasurable and addictive knit!
