Lets go all random, huh?
\nI finished my Fetching mitts, and I lurve them.
\n

\"\"<\/a><\/center>
\nThe yarn I used is Naturally Yarns “Sensation”<\/a>, which is a 70% Merino, 30% Angora mix.
\n
\"\"<\/a><\/center>
\nThe yardage on this yarn is pretty generous, 120m (131yds) so I modified the pattern a little.
\nSpecs:
\nYarn: Naturally Sensation<\/a> in shade 300.
\nNeedles: 3.5mm DPNS
\nPattern: Fetching<\/a> from Knitty.
\nThese were super quick to knit, they took two days total. The recommended yarn, Debbie Bliss Cashmerino, has 89m (98 yds), but I had an extra 30m to play with. When I finished the first one, I knew I wasn’t going to be happy with it, so I ripped out the cast off, and added an extra repeat.
\nMuch happier with them now!
\nI quite enjoyed working with this yarn, too. It’s a single yarn, not unlike the old Cleckheaton Angora Supreme, which I love. It’s very sheddy, which didn’t affect me an awful lot, seeing as I already have an inordinate amount of bunny fur around the house!
\nIt didn’t twist back on itself, like some singles do, and knit up into a lovely warm fabric.
\nApart from the Fetchings, I’ve also been working on Wicked.
\n

\nComing along very nicely! And quickly, too. Not as quick as some<\/a>, I’d like to point out. Amanda knit hers in four days!
\nOf course, I’ve also been working on the Kitri socks, which are getting very close to done.
\n
\"\"<\/a><\/center>
\nHopefully finished by next week.
\nAnd with all these things coming along so well, my mind moves on rather quickly.
\n
\"\"<\/a><\/center>
\nLace weight, beads, yum!
\nTwinkie would like you all to know that she’s supervising, but it’s getting pretty cold around here right now.
