plans

random photo from paris. this was taken from the luxembourg gardens.


this weekend i picked up a couple skeins of araucania nature wool in a cool green. i wanted to start something with it right away and decided on the convertible mittens from handknit holidays. i paired it with some brown manos i had. i am nearly complete with the first mitten. my gauge must be off as it was longer than it should have been at a couple points, but still should work out. i'll finish the first one and see how i like it.

my mom also picked some koigu out of my stash for a pair of socks. i'll be starting those soon along with a gnome. it will probably be slow going since i am trying to concentrate on markers. i got some mitten/snowball sets done last night and hope to get my other ideas done in the next few days so that i can put the first batch up for sale friday. there will definitely be more inventory than the past sales i have run so it shouldn't sell out that quickly i would think. we'll see. sets will be back to near regular price at $12.
