WIP Wednesday

... and for this week.... Scarves

Glitter Scarf by Carla Boustead-Willingham


I am test knitting this pattern using Mirasol Nuna (40% merino Wool, 40% silk, 20% bamboo) instead of lace weight yarn.

Sooooo soft and luscious, beautiful drape.

I am using US4 straight needles.  (in case you were wondering)

My Advent Calendar Scarf

I have actually completed one repeat of the Day 2 with beads. The beads are purple but depending on the light they change color.

You know I picked out all the purple ones from the mixed bag. Well, I need to buy some more. There is not enough purple left to do the second repeat.

But I like the beads so much better than the nupps!!

And a mitt...

I finished one mitt minus the thumb and started the second mitt.

I love the color and the tiny twist to the stitches in the ribbing.



Now I'm off to work on my sweater. It is Wed. Knit Group day and the day to work on sweaters!

Finished Ribbed Mitts

 Ribbed Mitts...

(last rose of the year, our weather has been below freezing at night)

There was a little pooling of the purple on the second mitt.

I don't know why. Maybe I was off by a round or two and the extra stitches for the thumb gusset changed the stitch count enough to cause the pooling. But for the most part they match pretty darn good. So I'm happy with them.

I think I'll make them again and this time I'll do a garter stitch ridge at the top. (just for something different)
