I’ve got my mojo back..

I feel a bit like Austin Powers, I felt like I lost my knitting mojo, but now it’s back. Remember the Endpaper mits I started over Christman. I finished the second one yesterday

They turned out perfect and I didn’t make any mistakes (well one tiny one, but I’m not telling). I tried to take a picture with my hands actually inside the mits which proved difficult.

Endpaper Mits
Pattern by Eunny Jang (click link)
Yarn: Drops Alpaca (one skein brown and one skein pink)
Needles: Addi bamboo DPN 2 mm and 3,5 mm

Overall this was a very good pattern. I really learned two stranded knitted and was amazed at my own hands and how they seemed to remember which strand belonged to what finger. I have also decided that in this being my second fair isle experience that it is something I really enjoy doing which is a good thing since I have 22 skeins of Alpaca waiting to be turned into the Venezia pullover. The yarn is lovely, very soft and very warm and in real life it has a little sheen. I would however combine one skein of alpaca and one skein of something else next time. Since it is so fuzzy the stitches aren’t that well defined which in this case would have been better looking. They do fit like a glove (well, like a mit).

I also started my next project yesterday

It’s the start of the Sienna Cardigan from fall 2006 Interweave knits. I didn’t even like it that much in the magazine, but I loved this one. I even like the yarn which is Phildar Partner and *shock%^&* horror! & GASP part acrylic. Oh well.

And just for fun

Aren’t we creative. My boyfriend started this painting yesterday and I think it’s really cool. Just imagine us cosily knitting and painting all day long…
Back to reality tommorow.
