Sorry not photo because I want it to be completely finished before it is documented. I need to tidy up the Kitchener's stitch closer of the thumb and stitch down the lining. I have tried on my very first mitten and I am ecstatic! Plenty of encouragement for me to start the second mitten. I am a bit behind schedule for the Olympics but we have a staff meeting tomorrow so I will get a lot of extra knitting done.
Tina and I attended Stitches West Friday and Saturday. What a fantastic experience! I ran into a few people who recognized me from the catalog. I loved hearing all their enthusiasm. I bought a few things for myself like roving to spin with my Golding drop spindle, a lovely silver, handcrafted yarn bracelet and a bit of Jacquard dye I couldn't resist playing with on Sunday.
On the way home from the airport on Saturday, I stopped by the office and picked up a skein of fingering weight Color Your Own yarn. First thing Sunday morning I had a pot of yarn bubbling on the stove.
The Jacquard dye was very easy to use. A pair of orange socks were just added to my To Do list.
I see Stitches was fun...WONDERFUL!! Didn't it make u feel good to hear all of the positive comments about my fave company?! WOW....those are going to be orange socks! How did you know that was the color that I was lacking in my sock yarn box?! I do so love dyeing your fingering wt Color your Own; of course, the worsted did just as well..but socks are more fun!! I used Koolaid..not quite as vibrant as those that you have dyed for me...I meant you..oops...LOL!!!!
Glad Stitches was fun..can't wait to see the gloves!!!
