If it isn’t one deadline, it’s another, amIright?! Malabrigo October Stockpile is ending tomorrow and I still have two projects on the needles that I’ve deluded myself into thinking I can finish before then (and there’s a third Mal project that I know will not be done, but that’s ok).
The first is my Aguas Ameliorates mitts:
The first is finished (sans thumb) and the second is about a third of the way there. I might have lost sleep last night to work on this. I might be a little silly but whatever, I’m going to have beautiful mitts when they’re done.
The second is a hat made out of my Malabrigo Nube handspun:
Yeah, I said hat. Doesn’t look much like it now, does it? I’m winging this thing, designing it on the fly, and it’s going to be a little funky. I’ve never designed with short rows before and this hat will have them. We will see how that goes!
Perhaps I’m feeling like I can get these done because I finished my Double Swag hat in Rios held double:
I love this hat, I think it’s really spiffy. The pattern for it will be written up and likely included in a collection I’m planning.
The clock’s a-ticking so I better quit blogging and get knitting. Check out Tamis Amis for more WIPs!

I love the look of the mitts (so far)! I can’t wait until I can make something like that.

They’re not too difficult! Most of the mitt is plain knitting with just a little lace section down the center.

The pattern on that completed hat looks like confused bunny rabbits to me. Is that just me?
(in a good way!)

haha, I didn’t see the confused part before, but now I do! The Fiasco saw it as little bunnies, too. Here’s hoping the 12-yr-old boy it’s intended for doesn’t think it’s covered in bunnies!

The Double Swag hat is so cool looking! I would love to knit one for my son in his favorite colors red and grey. Deadlines are fun until they are a day away! At least you will have some awesome knits to show for it even if they aren’t done by tomorrow.

Good luck with your deadlines! I love the mitts and the hat. Short rows scare me!
