September is always a time of beginnings for me. Start of school, end of lazy summer days, etc.
Let's talk about endings first!
Finished up the Alaska Mittens. Free pattern on Ravelry.
Size Medium - Size 7 needle
Plymouth Yarn Select Superwash Worsted & Valley Yarn Southampton held together.
Did the whole thing on One Needle - Magic Loop. Loved it.
I like the way designer did decreases at top
An the thumb increases. Very comfortable to wear.
Stacked on top of each other. Yea, I made them the same size!
I will say I'm glad they are done. They were not brainless, and I had to sometimes look at 3 papers at once to get the pattern, symbol and legend all correct. I am sad they are not mine. LOL. Made for Tiffany's mother in law.
Finished and blocked the Intersections socks for my Sister in Law. Yarn is Valley Yarn Charlemont.
I made a pair of socks since last post. Shorty socks. Size 8 with the Regia yarn.
These are for Casey for Christmas. I love how the yarn does all the work and makes them look fancy.
I started the Peppermelon sweater for me. I am really unsure of the fit. I'm going to knit a few more rows, soak, and then try it on. I may need to go up a needle size. The math works now, but I am kind of insecure about the fit of this one.
The yarn is Tess Designer Yarn, purchased at Rhinebeck 2019. I have use this before.
Mohair/Merino blend. Really nice.
For Christmas presents, I still have:
Brother - just started socks for him
Dad - really warm large needle socks
Joe - ?? not sure yet
Joey - ?? not sure yet
Mason - socks and a sweater.
Tiffany - ?? - Not sure yet.
I probably won't work on the sweater a super lot in order to get these gifts done.
Ruth is working on the Gus baby sweater. Yarn is Berroco Vintage. She made Mason a sweater in the same yarn. So cute. Great stitch definition.
Martha has made great progress on her Big Y sweater by Von Hinterm Stein. She is using two balls of yarn at the same time. I like how the colors are coming out.
A flock of turkeys across the road. So cool!
Have a great week dear blog readers. Stay safe and be kind.

And now I'm in a mood to have a pair of mittens. I made a pair last year for my husband and he loved wearing them a lot. Gorgeous projects!!
