Funky Vintage Hand Warmers

They are done!!

It is hard to get the real sense of the color: they are a warm brown with flecks of green, gold, red, blue and yetllow.

I used an Australian Merino and #4 circulars.

Knew Knob

Here is one of Aunt Ethel's hand warmers. I know it is not feminine looking, but she likes earthy colors and has big hands, so I think she will like it just fine.

Here is the cabinet complete with the knob. Yippee!! Finished at last.

In Progress

Here is the Tiger Eye Scarf so far.
I am using Dale of Norway Silk, Cotton, Viscose blend on #4 needles.

Stash Start

Here is the start of my stash.
I am still waiting for the knob to arrive but thought I would put (most) of the yarn in the cabinet anyway.

Dishcloth Daze

Looks like purple rules!

Finish Almost Finished

Here is the finish on my stash cabinet. I just need to wait for the finish to harden. I used 2 coats of an oil based stain and then 2 coats of an antique oil finish. I am hoping it will be ready to put back together tomorrow.

I thought about lining the back and/or sides with cedar but realized I would have to cut the shelves to fit so I nixed the cedar liner this week.

Monday Madness

The ever-pooling socks are done. At least the cuffs match well enough. But I think I'll try a solid color next time and go for some texture.

Today is lovely - sunny and breezy. Hopefully we can get some cool to go with it. Sometime before February would be nice.

Scarves to Send

Brigid's Branching out is ready to head up north.

As is Ben's Irish Hiking Scarf.
