Burnham mittens by Leila Raabe - pattern at shop

When I knit things to keep my appendages warm. (well, correction. It is the time of year that I START to knit things that keep my appendages warm. I don’t seem to finish too many). I am currently adding classes like crazy to the winter schedule so part of my project selection is based on what I intend to teach this winter. I am feeling the need for a rather pretty pair of fair isle mittens and the edition of Brooklyn Tweed LOFT to the shop has really made the temptation even worse. I am thinking Burnham by Brooklyn Tweed, worked in one skein of the color Hayloft and one skein of Plume. I like the two fair isle motifs (front and back) on the mittens and the braid of color around the cuff. It was a lot of fun picking from all 32 colors of Loft too! Now to sort out which color to make dominant and which to make the background…

I am headed to the tree lighting ceremony tonight and we have to be there super early! So of course, I will take a project with me. I should take my husband’s Christmas socks but it is entirely too tempting to take these mittens. I already printed the pattern…so yeah, I am kinda screwed on this one.

The Foxhall Glove pattern by Sally Rainey

Sally Rainey of the Rainey sisters just sent me an amazing new glove pattern that she designed in Brooklyn Tweed Loft as well. It is a download on Ravelry. So awesome!!

Don’t ask me how my Loft sweater is coming along.
