A Most Productive Week

Happy Fiber Arts Friday everybody and here's to a great weekend!  I'm  feeling pretty chipper today because I am in a good place, knitting-wise.  It's that happy place when you have finished a project, in this case two of them, and they have turned out just as you had hoped!  Here is my husband's sweater and it fits him perfectly and he likes it, he really likes it!



                                                                           

This is Jon's Sweater from the Fall Interweave Knits and the yarn is Ad Hoc from Filatura di Crosa.


And here are the finished Reykjavik mittens that I made for myself.  I'm on my way to Colorado for two weeks where the weather is predicted to be cold with snow so I think I will get some use out of these right away:


                                                                       

I'm bringing an easy project to work on there because there will be lots of distractions and little time to concentrate on knitting. This is Knitting Pure and Simple's Easy Baby Cardigan that I am making for a friend's grandson:


                                                                     


   I'm using Sirdar's Chatterbox Snuggly, another yarn from my stash that has since been discontinued:

    I'm in love with that sweater!

    It's snowing and is supposed to be very cold this weekend... you'll enjoy having those mittens.

    The sweater is gorgeous! I can imagine he loves it. The mittens will come in handy for cold weather. I just finished a capelet and now I am headed to Florida tomorrow! I am afraid the cold weather will be gone when I return. Oh well, there's always next year.

    I remember selling Snuggly at the Knitting Room, over a decade ago! Have a good trip, and see you when you come back.
