Dear readers,
While I procrastinated on the buttons to my Funky Grandpa sweater, I started an easy but gorgeous fingerless mitts patterns. Why fingerless mitts? Well, I've given all my mitts as gifts - with the exception of one snug pair.
I finished the pair above on the flight to and from DC from LAX (holding a Kalapawai Market Coffee Cup, Kailua, HI).
Here are the mitts above (with the cowl behind them). The pattern is
Fetching.
Here was my initial cowl -- which I still love and have not blocked. I have worn it a dozen times at least.
The yarn I used was Fyberspates Scrumptious Aran in Moss. It is a silky alpaca, wonderful and I love it. One pattern note is that I recommend binding off with a smaller ribbing on the needle. My are a bit loose at the fingers (and I took out the design originally with the pattern as far as the little ribs on the bind off).
I'm meeting with some of the LA Sewing Bloggers for a meet up next Saturday -- so I'm pretty excited! I'm still trying to get my sew-jo on!
XOXO,
Pammie

Gorgeous! Have fun at your meet-up - my sew-jo is GONE! But I'm getting my knitting on....
I'm hooping my sew-jo revives itself. My is GONE! I can't wait to see your fantastic knitting projects. I can see how knitting is very relaxing -- you can do it watching TV, etc. etc.
BTW, I keep going back to this post to see if it works, 5 tips for getting into your sewing groove:
