You’re so ambitious! I’m just working on Infinity Scarves for ‘Warm Up America’ these days.
I’ve done 12 pairs of mittens, working on a “Soldier’s Hat” & trying to finish up those two baby blankets. I’m having to rotate projects to keep my hand from cramping up. The baby blankets were a “surprise” ... was working on one for a cousin’s baby & the twins happened. My mom loved the cousin’s baby blanket (pink) & wanted it for one of the twins. Then I had to come up with a boy’s blanket. I still have to send my cousin a blanket, but got a pretty one out of “inventory” that I’d forgotten I had.
The mittens are mostly replacing those basic crochet mittens I gave everyone about 5 years ago - they all needed new ones so they’re getting knitted ones this time. Then, I found out a close relative is going hiking in the Canadian Rockies this summer - I just ordered Alpaca yarn to make her a hat & mittens. The clothing list from the outfitter says they should have a fleece or wool gloves and hat. Alpaca is very light, warm & durable, plus it’s not as scratchy as wool. The Soldier’s Hat is a pattern I found on Ravelry - very basic & people knit them for Israeli soldiers. This is a great pattern for a ‘survival’ hat - keep it in your pack in the event something happens & you need to stay warm. The yarn color is pretty enough, she could use it for regular wear, too.
So, I’ll have a bunch of pictures & pattern links to post coming up - might save them for next month’s Fiber Arts thread since we’re getting close to the end of the month. I do have one “Gomer Pyle” yarn (surprise! surprise! surprise!) mitten picture to post - craziest thing that’s every happened to me with yarn ... I’ll keep you in suspense for now :-)
