Pictures of the birthday knits, completed. First up, Kerry’s present, which I called “Hodgepodge Mittens” because I used elements from three different patterns to complete them. See all the notes here. My hands don’t fill out the mittens properly in these pictures, but you get the idea, right?
I’m glad to say they fit her just right.
As for the little red bit on which I was knitting away, L1 and I had a fun photo shoot with it before I wrapped it up for his mom, on whom it looked just lovely. Here it is on me (knitterly details here):
Not sure that I can pull off the Little Red look, but it was fun, nonetheless.
I think a stop at the yarn store is necessary–I need a citron!
these are so fantastic and i love the photos. especially the bottom one…that background color is amazing and your knitted pieces are so striking. thanks for inspiring me to get back to my needles!
Love the mittens and the citron- especially the color of the citron. I have been wanting to make one for a while, but I told myself I would finish some WIPS first. Sigh.
Gorgeous shawl!
Everything looks wonderful! I love the red of tha yarn, it is just amazing. Very lucky friends that you are gifting to. Beautiful job
Thank you, all! I’m just starting to realize how much I crave bold colors in bits and pieces in the gray winter. Sometimes I feel obsessed with the days when we have blue sky–can’t get enough of it!
May you all find such happiness on your needles. 🙂
