2022 TWOsday Mittens

A pair of Mittens on TWOsday - 2/22/22

Picture
I used handspun (orchids noir; 69 yards/208 ft) yarn from Studioloo to knit these beautiful fingerless mittens.
The material is meriono, angelina, and viscose which makes the texture visible and attractive.
One-of-a-kind knit on a one-of-a-kind day!

Stylish slippers and mittens

Picture
Buying a pair of mittens or a pair of slippers is always an option, but knitting your own is more satisfying!
You can knit a pair in just a few evenings. These cabled slippers and mittens can make a great gift too.
Picture
Cute, cozy and comfortable. Warm up your hands and feet!

2021 Pom Pom Wreath

Pom Pom Wreath

Picture
Pom pom is a wonderful finishing touch for any project - a hat or a scarf or an ornament.
​They are a fun way to embellish  and decorate so many things! 
​These colourful pom poms are the project themselves - a beautiful wreath for Christmas or some other holiday.
Picture
Pom poms are a super fun easy way to use up yarn leftovers. All my pom poms are made of random scraps, and each pom pom is unique. I mixed different yarn textures, and the result was amazing!
Any yarn scraps are good for that (cotton, acrylic, and others) - I used wool and mohair. In addition to this, I used fiber from the Classic Thrum Mitts kit (by Fleece Artist) purchased in the yarn shop in Kensington on P.E.I. years ago.  Click on the image below to go to Artisaknity newsletter about yarn shops.
Picture
You need a pom pom making gadget and several evenings of your time. 
​There are 50 pom poms of three different sizes in my wreath.
​Click on the images below to see the latest pom pom projects: a scarf and a hoodie.
Pom pom making is addictive, but you can never have too many pom poms!!

Happy holidays!

2021 November Pom Pom Fun

November Pom Pom Fun

Picture
Picture
Fall is for fun with colours and pom-poms.
Look at this knit: grey is great (one of the Halloween shades too), and orange is a true autumn leaf or pumpkin colour (one of the Thanksgiving tones as well).
My November project was a scarf with pom-poms. It is cute and fun.
I also love its radiance - these pom-poms beam joy and gorgeousness!
​Magnifique!

2021 Small Snuggle Scarf

Small Snuggle Scarf

Picture
Any scarf can be a snuggle knit - it can be oversized or small, like mine. 

All you need is soft yarn that helps you feel comfy and cozy. Mine is luxury hand dyed wool.

It is another easy project with a basic stockinette knit stitch and crochet edges. 

This yarn texture and colours are so beautiful that the simple pattern looks really good on both sides.
Picture
I used one skein of yarn for this neck wrap. The scarf is wide but short, so I accessorized it with a pretty pin.

Happy knitting in the fall!

2021 Colourful Slippers

End of Summer Colourful Slippers

Picture
One of the fastest knits ever! And a great way to do some stash toss. This skein of Argentinian yarn (purchased in Buenos Ares in 2013) was forgotten and had been sitting in my stash for years. The colour was not to my taste, and I didn't have enough for a bigger knit. But it looks really good in these moccasin slippers!

Summer by the Lake Shawl

Picture
One of the best wraps in the summer is something 'cool' - like this baktus scarf.  It is good to use linen, bamboo, or cotton for summer knitting. For this shawl I picked silk - the touch is amazing and it feels great!
Picture
Pattern: Garter Stitch.
