I’ll Need 3 Forks please

Till Death spoiler pics below!! 

It’s been quite a busy week for me at work, but I have managed to get some things done at home too!! 

I finished my Wonder Woman Cape!!! 

This is the pic of it blocking; I’ll have someone take a pic of me wearing it tomorrow. It didn’t block out quite as large as it could have - my short row wraps were a bit tight. Still, I’m chuffed af with the final result!! 

Then I finished my Till Death MKAL mittens. 

Not blocked yet, but I am thrilled with them. I wore them this morning and the beads on the palms are already driving me bonkers, so I think that I’ll be cracking them off. They do need blocking, and then I’m ready for Día de los Muertos. 

And then I made Wonder Woman cuffs. I could not be more pleased with how the colours worked out, finishing with the white/gold at the edge of the ruffle!! 

The beads are so sparkly that I imagine that I really could fend off bullets with them!! 

It also gave me the opportunity to use my tiny bead spinner - still one of the best gadgets ever!!
I popped into The Needle Emporium today (yes, when I’m in the mood for a drive, a 3 hour trip is “popping in” LOL!!) to pick up the yarn for my Throwback Cardigan  as well as yarn to knit a sweater for Julie. I haven’t knit with Rowan yarn in a while, and I’m especially happy to be able to give the felted Aran tweed a go in the Hartwist Sweater. 


I could help but grab another Cheshire Cat kit. 
I was so excited that they now came with variegated colours!! I know, it seems a bit muted, but it just called to me. It’s destined to be another Hitchiker scarf.

My back is better today. I do think that the cannabutter helped. Today was another epsom salt bath, heating pad and rest. More cannabutter therapy tonight. 

I didn’t start my Wonder Woman cape until this evening because I just couldn’t leave my Till Death mittens not caught up. 

I am using Indigo Dragonfly CaribouBaa for my cape. I love the colours and am excited to see how much I can get done in my next 3 days off!! 

I do love the brightness that the Sundara free brings to the mitten, but it’s so tonally close to the blue MC that the detail of the patten is a bit lost. It’s different, but I don’t love/hate either one enough to redo either mitten. LOVE the skeletons though!!! 

A little bit of everything

I’m slipping back into that habit of just knitting and not blogging!! 

*** Till Death Spoilers below!!! ***

Woodstock was fabulous, as it ever is. Sarah was picking out colours for the Throwback Cardigan  and it ended up being decided that we will be doing it as our Frolic sweater! I loved knitting with Woolstock and Dream State so much sit Humulus that it was not a difficult decision to use it again and I am going to be using the Woolstock Thermal Spring as my MC, to go with these Dream State contrasts:

I am making nice progress on Julie’s Trenchcoat socks. 

  

I started on Amin’s blanket. 

As much of a fibre snob as I can be, I do love Bernat Blanket for baby/kids blankets. It is so soft and washes well — it’s a fave with the kids and moms! 

I am excited about my Till Death mittens!! Progress is painfully slow, but the result is satisfying. I’m not thrilled with the sea foam green colour, but too much time has been invested to rip it out. I do have a plan for the 2^nd mitten ... I’m not going to redo the 2nd cuff, so it may be a bit odd, but I’m ok with that.
