been in my queue since December 2007. Started swatching on size 4’s, need to go up a needle size which means finding the next size tips in whatever project they are in 😉
special set to use my handspun Abalone colored fiber from Unwind Yarn Company (Dana, @craftygirl83) in Polworth and BFL Swirl plied together for an #unwindspinalong with MicheleStitches. mitts – custom to reach below the elbow with cable detail and a hole for the thumb. crochet around thumb area for a nicer edge. worked in the…
