Coldest morning of the season! It was about 15 degrees below zero when I did chores this morning. But the wind had finally died down overnight and I could remind myself that it is mid-January. Days are getting longer, sun is getting warmer and this sub-zero weather is only supposed to last a couple days. The alpacas were oblivious to the cold. Once there was hay to be eaten they were happy as could be. Amazing critters.
What is this?
- Stacked!
That is 36 pair of unfinished wrist warmers. The colorful ends in front will be removed and replaced with the decorative frilly edge that is knit by hand. These are ready to go the gal who will do the finishing work. But wait! There is more.
Lots of skeins
This pile of yarn is also destined for wrist warmers after is it wound into balls. One down, 83 left to go!
But now, I’m taking a break from wrist warmers. I’m going to knit a hat to be felted.
Proto type
I made this one in November out of some wool that was in my charity stash. I’ve been giving myself pep talks ever since to get one made of alpaca. I think today is the day!
That hat is super cute! I’ve always loved the cloche style with a little brim. With everything you’ve got going on it looks like you’re making good use out of these cold winter days!
Thanks Natalie. Hope they turn out even cuter with alpaca yarn!
