What's up with that?? I think this is the very first time that I can remember not having a number of projects hanging out in bags all around my knitting chair. Such a strange feeling!
Over the last month I have really concentrated finishing things. So far I have finished a vest, my Wing of Moth shawl, Hawthorne, Keukenhof socks and some woven towels…whew! I will share pictures of these things soon. 🙂
There were a few other projects that I freed myself from. If I don't enjoy the knit, why bother, so those few projects were frogged…yay.
I do have one pair of socks that needs it's mate, but I wasn't up to all the cable work, so that one will have to wait a little bit, but other than that…I have nothing.
So yesterday I went digging around my studio and decided to try and find a pattern for a heavier weight version of my Kashmir yarn that I brought in recently.
This is a 4 ply worsted weight yarn that has a nice plump, round feel to it.
After searching ravelry for a pattern I came up with Kirsten's "Wood Hollow Mittens". After losing my red mittens last winter and the cold weather settling in, this gave me a good excuse to knit a new pair.
Kirsten's pattern is very well written and enjoyable! Just enough going on to make it interesting, but still easy enough to be relaxing. I think these will be finished in no time. 🙂

Can’t help saying this….I always love, love, love your colorways! Wherever I see them….your blog, your website, Anne’s knitted objects, etc., I just fall in love with the colors! I hope you keep dyeing for many years to come.

Personally, I don’t think you dug hard or deep enough to claim you have no UFOs. Well, you did say in the baskets around your chair, didn’t you. 😉 Those mittens look yummy.

Mittens in your Kashmir will be wonderful! Everything I’m knitting right now is for Dale and that’s just weird. If I’m annoyed with him then I don’t want to knit! I finished the sleeves of the Spartan sweater this morning and now I just have to do the sewing and then I can knit for ME again!

The colour of your mittens is beautiful. You’ll have to pin them to your coat like when we were children so they don’t get mislaid.

That’s a fantastic combination of yarn and pattern. Now you have me yearning to make mittens while I am still in Red Scarf mode.

It feels good, no? Your mitten will be so warm and the color is, as usual, fabulous.

Perfect yarn for your mittens and lovely color. I started the same pair and ripped- wrong yarn for it. I have a loose skein of Kashmir somewhere in the stash…….
