Couldn't put the needles down

I spun this wool last weekend - since Christmas I've had a pair of mitts on my 'to do' list for a fisherman friend. (Hence the natural brown colour.)


I picked up the needles this morning intending to simply make a start. Three hours later and the first one is stitched up! This speed is out of character. I will however save its partner for another day. The pattern is my own, the fibre is corriedale natural medium.

Those look good and warm! Quick knits are fun.

I agree - I enjoy a quick result (though quick knit for me probably means an egg-cosy or something). I was surprised how quickly this one grew. Maybe I'm knitting quicker.

It certainly is warm too. Quite chunky and the yarn is very fluffly.

Thanks Dorothy.
