Stranded Knitting


I took an Intarsia & Stranding workshop at Country Woolens, Lebanon, NH this fall. They have a great array of classes. I had fun learning the techniques and used it right away on this cute kids hat. I need to keep practicing.

Inspired Mittens


These mittens were made by request for Taylor. Inspired by Kate Spade. I used Cascade 100% superwash wool, worsted weight, needles size #7, Ann Norling's "Basic Mittens on 4 Needles" pattern. I did the HI 5 in duplicate stitch. That was challenging but You Tube had lots of help. The charts are a free download on Ravelry, thanks Emily Matisz!
