The Land of Wool and Honey

Holy Cute

Certainly 2012 is not the Year of The Production Knitter.  (What I lack in volume, I make up in adorable.)

Pattern: Bear and Panda Hat and Mitts by Linda Cyr

Started: Saturday, February 11th, 2012

Finished: Thursday, February 16th, 2012

Yarn: Shepherd's Wool Worsted in Brown and Zinnia Pink.

Needles: US 6 Addi Lace 24" circular and US 4 & US 6 in Brittany dpns.

Notes:  Ridiculously darling.  But not the most intuitive pattern I've ever knit.  (Isn't that typically the case with freebies?)  The ears?  Gah!  I know there must be a better way to knit them.  (And a much better way to write the pattern than "Sew ear seams."  Seriously?!?)

When I first saw these hats and mitts, I knew they had to be shop samples.  Tomorrow, Saturday February 18th & next week, the 25th from 3:30 to 5:30, I'll be teaching a class on this little set.  And for those of you who live too far away for classes, I've put together kits in both Classic Bear (brown/pink) and Panda (black/white)--they can be found here.

Baby Booties

 

Pattern: Wool & Honey booties, modified from Zoe Mellor's roll-top booties pattern (Rav link).

Started: Wednesday, June 2nd, 2010

Finished: Friday, June 4th, 2010

Yarn: Claudia Handpainted fingering weight in Desert Dusk--less than one skein.

Needles: Susan Bates US 1s--10" straights (there's a first!)  and Lantern Moon US 1 dpns in Ebony.

Size:  6 months.  Shop sample for Wool & Honey. (Again, sorry about the broken link--we're working on putting the new site live!)

Notes:  I'll be teaching a class on these cuties on Saturdays, June 19th & 26th from 2-4 p.m.--I figured I had better get a sample done!
