That's it for me

I'll still be doing some gift knitting, but I'm pretty sure I'm not going to finish any by the end of the KAL. So these are the last for me:


Darkside Cowl (Ravelry link)
Malabrigo Silky Merino in Arlene's Purples - approximately 96 yds
size 8 KP Harmony circs


Cafe Au Lait mitts (Ravelry link)
Lana Grossa Numero Uno - approximately 132 yds
size 4 KP Harmony circs


Blue Moon Fiber Arts Funky Monkey kit - the mini version
Socks that Rock heavyweight in Typhoon Tina & Harlotty - approx 87.5 yds
size 5 KP Harmony circs

Hope everyone in the US has a happy Thanksgiving Day.

Plugging along

My second pair of Maine Morning Mitts are done. These will definitely be gifted since the colorway seems so very 80's pink (& black). And with the weather being so warm this weekend, I washed all my completed gift knits & have them drying in the shade


Noro Silk Garden colorway #205 - 45 g = approx 110 yd
size 8 bamboo dpns
no mods

I've been restless in trying to decide on my next gift knitting, so I decided to simply cast on for Monkey2's mini-monkey since I am long overdue in making hers. Monkey1's mini-monkey was knit during Blue Moon Fiber Arts Camp Kaw Kaw (sock camp) back in April this year.

Typhoon Tina is the main body colorway & the accent will be Harlotty

I should be knitting some cowls or more mitts for my co-workers, but nothing, not even Ravelry, has been inspiring me, so I took inspiration from my knitting buddy, tapmouse2, and started Annie Modesitt's Ruffled Roses Scarf pattern.


I'm not sure if I'll finish this in time for the end of the KAL, so I may end up casting on other gift knits instead. I just need to decide on what yarn to combine with what pattern.
