A bit of this, a bit of that

Finished objects keep flying out of my needles these days, it seems!


Meet "Foxgloves" by Clara Parkes (from "Brave New Knits"). These fingerless gloves are made from 100% wool ("nagano"/Gjestal) and knit in no time. Simple and pretty. And useful.

Here's "Northumbria cowl", by Elinor Brown (KnitSimple, fall 2010). I had a skein of moss-green alpaca yarn, and what better use for such a treat: again, a simple lace pattern, a lovely end result. And useful.

I embellished the cowl with a piece of satin ribbon as a seam.
