The State Of Things

The Christmas knitting continues.

I'm pleased with the progress - helped along by another winter storm this past weekend.

Hat and fingerless mitts for the foreign exchange student - Done.



All with less than one skein of Malabrigo worsted. I've cast on for a ruffly scarf with the second skein.

If you're looking for quick and easy fingerless mitts,
Fetching is a great pattern. If I had knit for a solid day, I could have completed them both in one day. And I am not a fast knitter.

I wouldn't mind making a pair for myself, but I would have to significantly adjust the pattern as I've got large hands.

The BIL's scarf - one skein done, three to go.




The SIL's wimple. Nearly done with the first of two skeins.


The color is much richer than the photo shows - but I just couldn't get a true color photo in the winter light.

Anything on your needles for Christmas?
