Using Up Scraps

This month, I decided to dedicate my time to using up scraps of yarn from past projects to create as many mittens as possible to donate to a woman's shelter next winter. I managed to create five different pairs, each of which is lovely in their own unique way. 

 

Vacation Knitting

Sometimes, you just need a simple project that allows you to enjoy knitting without being distracted from watching the world around you. For me, that means knitting socks. 

Recently I had the good fortune to take a wonderful 3-week vacation to the Caribbean. It was an amazing opportunity to visit 10 spectacular islands and take in some sun and amazing sites. You can see some pictures from my trip on Instagram.

While on vacation I started these socks which I finished last week. I used a simple 2x2 rib pattern and KnitPicks Stroll Fingering yarn in a colour appropriately named, Malbec Tonal.
