A friend showed me the Sugar on Snow hat/neckwarmer she had made, and I decided I had to make one, too. Here are pictures of it both ways. It is knit from Baby Alpaca Grande, and the i-cord with leaves is made from Suri Merino. Deliciously soft! I wasn't sure if I'd really like the leaf decorations, but they aren't bad at all. And it helps that they are knit in green for this project.
Yesterday I received the November issue of Creative Knitting. I resumed my subscription with some trepidation, as I don't usually see much in this magazine that I'd think of making. But several items in this issue called to me: the Three Squares and Two Sleeves sweater (it took a couple of read-throughs of the pattern to see what was going on with this one), the Sugar Plum Wrap sweater, and the Arm Snuggies. For this last, my LYS, The Spinning Room, just got in some Baby Llama yarn in three colors that I hope will be delicious looking together.
Currently on the needles and getting the most attention: the second of a pair of fingerless mitts for my husband, in a lovely forest green shade.
