Knitting Notes

YOSS logo

You are probably sick of seeing these Fallberry fingerless mitts, but it's a lovely pattern and it knits up much quicker than a pair of socks. These may turn up as someone's Christmas gift. This time I used a fabulously soft and rich midnight blue (blueberry) Ultra Fine Alpaca by Berroco.

Since I'm still itching to work on my sweater especially since the weather is turning colder. I may substitute finishing the sweater for knitting a pair of socks for October. I know that's REALLY bending the rules. Well we'll see...

I've really enjoyed hearing your monthly status reports. Keep them coming. This giveaway is on the home stretch!
