Imagine That

A progress photo? I thought a progress photo was in order. Usually I completely forget to take photos of pretty much everything. This time I've - so far - only forgotten to photograph the batt. My previous post shows the two-ply yarn spun by me that I'm using to knit these mitts. So far they are lovely. I'm very happy with them. I just hope they fit since my hands - i.e. bones -- are very small making fitting hand clothing very difficult. I'm just to the point where I'm starting the thumb gusset over one of the lacy motifs so and they should increase just perfectly fitwise. Oh, and are they ever warm and soft.

By the way, if you have any interest in this type of fiber, I have a few in my Etsy shop as well as a few that I'm getting ready to post there. They all have close to 30% each merino and/or superwash merino, 30% kid mohair and 30% tussah silk with the additional 10% being bits of angora or alpaca or, in one case, bamboo. All are semi-solids.
