Felted Mittens Yarn: Real Colours' worsted weight 100% acrylic (cuff) , Marjo 75% wool, 25% viscose Pattern: Based on the one found at www.knittingatknoon.com I finally hankered down and knit like crazy on these for the five days where temperatures dropped to -12ºC. However, I haven't had the weather to wear them since I've finished! I *heart* the furry Marjo yarn. Even though it is 75% wool, it is soft and fluffy as ever. Plus, I got three hanks on sale at Knitworks..too bad it was a closeout sale. The thumbs are slightly longer than I had calculated, but overall, they are great. Planning on making a matching hat! |

Small tote Yarn: Cotton / acryrlic blend, denim colour Pattern: Based on this one. Originally I'd purchased this yarn to make a "tweedy" felted cat basket..but unfortunately I hadn't noticed that it had no wool, mohair, or other "natural" materials in it. Thus was born this bag. It's not too pretty (or big, for that matter), but I'll probably be using it to tote lunches or knitting projects to and fro. I'm not too pleased with the fact that it is super stretchy, but oh well.
