Greetings,

Finished up my pair of fingerless mitts, I'm very pleased with them The yarn, 'ARAUCANIA' from Chile, was a real treat to work with...and plenty left over for another pair. The fit is perfect and they're as cozy as could be. Next is a pair of full mittens called 'Paradoxical Mittens' and intriguing pattern for sure! I love them, and am using Frog Tree 100% alpaca...one size 1 needles. Egads...but they seem to be moving along quickly, sort of.

As some of you may know, I have a link on my Links Page to a woman who makes beautiful pin cushion...as a lover of them, I've found another talented woman who makes them out of wool. They are gorgeous, and I just purchased my first from her. Here's the one I purchased:

I'm already having a hard time keeping it to just one! Be sure to view her other items.
Her work may also be seen on Etsy:

We've had some good, much needed rain this week, and more is forecasted for the weekend. Still pretty warm though, but that'll change soon enough!

Saturday I'm taking a class at my favorite yarn shop, Northeast Fiber Arts, on mitered knitting. I've never done it, and look forward to learning something new as well as sitting with a group of knitters.

Till next time...let's all knit on good women!

Martha.
