pattern: suzie's reading mitts
yarn: alpaca upcycled from an unwanted sweater
a christmas present for my mom. by request... although she so casually asked for both fingerless mitts and a ruffly apron that i wonder if she'll even remember.
this is the third time i've made this pattern and it never fails to please. these gloves are so simple and elegant but quick to knit. a perfect last minute gift (not that christmas is that imminent but it is officially looming!) these gloves are officially wrapped and under our christmas tree! it's a regular santa's lil sweatshop around here. the boy and i have been making christmas ornaments and wreaths, decorating, making christmas cookies, breaking ornaments, and all sorts of other holiday stuff =)
i've been soo busy doing all this christmas prep stuff as well as making christmas presents that i've got quite a little backlog of projects to photograph and blog. if only the sun were ever to grace our seattle november... i love christmas, i live for it i really do.... but all i want to do right now is knit myself a sweater. i imagine it will be cast on before christmas; i don't have many more christmassy items to knit =)
everybody else getting amped up for christmas? or foiled in their blogging attempts by the wintry weather?
