We just received a couple of color packs of Crazy Zauberball – fun, fun and more fun!
This randomly-changing wool-and-nylon fingering weight yarn is grist for your creative mill – socks, shawls, mitts, baby things – it adds its own marled colors to liven up anything. There are more than 17000 projects using Crazy Zauberball on Ravelry. Let the knitting begin!
Look what Donna left me, like a little elf delivering presents:
a pair of “A River Runs Through Mitts” from her mitts series of classes! They are absolutely beautiful in River Twist from Mountain Colors, and warm, with long cuffs that will slip up under your sleeves to keep you extra cozy.
Donna’s series begins this Friday (!!) with Medallion Gloves coming first. There are one or two spots open:
You can learn to make the River mitts starting on Friday, October 23. Sign up today!
I’ve finished the poncho that I simply had to make but have not had a chance to take pictures. Next week, I hope! I’m on the home stretch with the Leaf Cocoon I’m making for my niece, again, pictures next week I hope. Meanwhile, I’m looking for my next project. Did you see Brooklyn Tweed’s newest collection? Here’s a link to their Look Book.
I like several of the designs, but I think my favorite is this one, called Trailhead:
Love the collar, love the hemline, love the pockets! The pattern description calls for adventurous knitters, because a lot of things happen at the same time. The pattern is 22 pages long, for Pete’s sake. It’s also knit in pieces so there’s a bit of finishing involved. But I do love it and am pretty sure I’m going to make it. I also like this one, called Birch Bay:
and if I didn’t hate reverse stockinette stitch so much, I might make it.
And I like this one, called Bannock, too and this could jump right onto my list, no problem!
Such pretty texture! What’s your favorite??
