Endpaper Mitts & More
This weekend was highly productive. Matt and I started looking at rentals which included me breaking into a house (it was empty don’t worry) through the wood shoot.
I also managed to take pictures of my finished Endpaper Mitts. Actually my SIL took the pictures for me as, well, my hands were occupied 
Endpaper Mitts
Yarn: Debbie Bliss Baby Cashermino, 2 skiens
Needles: Size 3 DPN
I finally got my way through this pattern. Only took 2 false starts & a heavier weight yarn as the yarn recomended caused a way to tight & tiny mitt for my scandinavian hands.
I am rediculously thrilled with this knit. I really love them and I most likely will do them again!
I also have the jitterbug doily blocked.
A fun useless knit.
I’m also working my way through the Lace Ribbon Scarf. The henry’s attic prime alpaca is beautiful to work with & one skien is 600+ yards. This deffinately will take me a while to work through but I’m sure that I will love it to death once I’m done. The lace is pretty easy & rewarding.
And a detail shot.
I’m about 45% done with the herringbone mitts for my cousin & they are rediculously cute. They are small but I know that the debbie bliss stretches a bit & I can block them bigger. Slowly but surely I’m really trying to work down my stash. Since we are probably going to be moving with in the next month or so I’d like to have things more in order by then.

;D I think they are beyond cute too. I think I will be making a few more pairs. Do you have colors in mind you like?

brown, green, orange… or variations of those colors. I looooove earth tones, and from there don’t have a lot of preference. i love colors like burnt orange and avocado… but anything that would fall into that “feel” of color will be adored. do you know what i mean?
