Being Completely Enchanted

Whew! Three hours of shooting, uploading, labeling and cataloging into Ravelry and on Flickr and I have made a dent in the photo documentation backlog that looms over me forever and a day.

Enchanted Fingerless Mitts

The project I am most excited about these days is this little number, these fingerless mitts. I got totally inspired and a bit envious when the Rooster made her fingerless mitts with her Five Plum Pie yarn. I may have drooled over my laptop upon seeing them all done up. And so I took to my needles and decided the Enchanted 3 ply yarn from SCF was the perfect tonic to ease my serious case of WANT.

Enchanted Fingerless Mitts

Two evenings of knitterly focus and I have something I think I can wear proudly at Rhinebeck this year. I adapted the Toast pattern by Leslie to add a gusset thumb because I like the fit better. And instead of a curled edge, I added a few rows of garter. All in all, a WIN project.

So pretty! I'm jealous of all of this handspun goodness going on. Those are going to be perfect for fall.

oh, these look great! And funnily, they look A LOT like some mitts that I made for myself last year with some handspun! I even did a double take, wondering if you had my mitts for some reason! ha!

These are gorgeous! I love those colors. I may need to put some of my handspun stash to use and make these too.
