Tessellating Lace Socks

I finished them this weekend, but have not been able to get it posted due to various life and work issues.   I love how they came out.  I’m working on writing up the pattern and still looking for a test knitter or two.

Fine Cabled Mitts

I’m taking a wee break from socks (although I’ll probably have a new pair started by end of week) to use my usual sock needles to knit a pair of Fine Cabled Mitts for a friend.  They are almost done, with one more cable turn, a bit of ribbing at the top and thumbs to be completed.  The yarn is this handspun.

Superwash Single

Speaking of handspun, as I said there has been handspinning.  Since I was traveling this weekend, I switched gears to my favorite spindle and some superwash merino.  Spindle spinning is slower going, but I enjoy it a lot and I’ve continued with the spindle the early part of the week.  (what time I’ve been able to devote to spinning)  I have managed to spin at least a little every day, but I’ve not been able to do quite as much as last week.
