This morning as I let the chickens out I was greeted by this view:
Which inspired casting on a new project:
No matter what I tried I could not get a decent picture of this, but trust me when I say they are going to be fetching fingerless gloves. Partly inspired by cold hands, but mostly inspired by this. I am stash busting on this as well.
I'm still working away on my other two WIP's, Rori's shrug..............
..............and my stress blanket. I just love how this blanket is turning out, though my stress levels have been down and I've neglected it this past week.
And if I can control myself the rest of the day, that's it for WIP's. I am really pleased to say that everything I've been knitting has used only the yarn I have in my stash. I've been trying to thin the herd before we move, and it really has been great fun.
Happy Crafting!
Ah I'm loving the stress blanket, isn't the best thing ever? I'm actually thinking about starting another one! Also, you have the most stunning backyard EVER!
ReplyDeleteWow, snow on the hills. We have frosts but no snow yet, beautiful view. Love the blanket and the gloves look great too. It's frustrating when you think your picture isn't quite right, looks good to me!
ReplyDeleteI definitely need to start a stress blanket. Yours is coming out lovely! Can't believe you had snow up on the hills. Beautiful. Not even a frost here yet, but lots of wind and rain.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous view and I can so see the inspiration in your fetchings (love the colour)
ReplyDeletewhat a gorgeous view. Fab projects too.
ReplyDeletethat is a magnificent view! I love the idea of a stress project!! I might need one!
ReplyDeleteWhat an amazing view! I've got Fetching gloves in my queue, looking forward to seeing how yours will turn out :D
ReplyDeletewhat a view, so envious
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely view! I knit Fetching a few years ago and it's a wonderful pattern. Looking forward to see how yours knit up!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful view! Keep warm! Everything is covered in a layer of frost this morning in Maine
ReplyDeleteyour chicken letting out view is amazing! I love the lace detail of the shrug :)
ReplyDeleteLove you project and the view is fantastic!
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous view!! The fingerless gloves are going to be very pretty - stash busting at it's best!
ReplyDeleteLove the Fetching gloves! Stash- busting is awesome-- it always feels good to use up those odd ends
ReplyDeletewonderful projects andria! fetching is such a pretty and fun pattern. and your view, oh my gosh.
ReplyDeleteGoodness - is that snow?
ReplyDeleteThe cold is inspiring me to knit fingerless gloves, too. Or at the very least to keep my hands moving!
I love how that shrug is looking! pretty color too!
ReplyDeleteLovely photo - and very nice beginning on Fetching :)
ReplyDeleteNo progress on your stress blanket sounds like a good thing if it means no stress!
I made several pairs of fetchings long ago, but none are in my closet. Hmmm, I must remedy that situation. LOL!
ReplyDeleteOh my, what a fantastic view!
ReplyDeleteLovely projects, lots of colour. Beautiful pattern on the shrug.
I was thinking last week that I needed to make another pair of fingerless gloves because I wear mine all the time!
