Maria’s church is trying to raise money for a new roof. They are going to have a bazaar in the Fall. What a great excuse to make something fun! I had the perfect yarn, an acrylic/wool blend that will be easy to wash. I started with an entrelac hat. For some reason, I made an extra tier of squares. Then I had to knit the decrease tier in the opposite direction. I found myself picking up the wrong side more than once. Maybe I should have taken the extra tier out, but I’m I didn’t. It really looks good on.
Next, I decided to make mittens. I really like them. It’s a good thing I made them a little big. These are definitely feel good mittens. Just looking at them makes me smile.
I had a little over one skein left at this point. Do I keep what’s left? Nah. So I made a little scarf. It’s only about four feet long, but it’s still long enough to keep a neck warm. And mitered squares are so much fun.
