Finished Knitting Objects

It’s early spring

and we’re getting ready to fly fish once again.

My husband asked me to knit him

some wrist warmers/fingerless gloves to use on cold mornings.

Years ago I knit him this hat using Merino wool

that I dyed myself in some of his favorite colors.

I plied that with a soft alpaca/Corriedale handspun singles

to create a yarn that would knit up into a very warm hat.

We spend hours outside

and he has a nice collection of warm hand knit hats to choose from.

Just so, right?

There’s got to be a benefit from living in a house stuffed with wool and yarn!

For the inside hem of the hat,

I used two commercial yarns that were burnt orange/bright orange

Merino/alpaca to add some interest and a fun factor.

I held on to the leftover ball of yarn from the hat

and now, years later,

I used it up completely to knit these

I added a singles strand of chocolate alpaca

handspun yarn that I had on hand to add warmth.

These brought a big smile to my hubby’s face

and I know that they will help to keep him warm while fishing.

Yay!

Have I mentioned how much I love spinning/knitting?

Cheers,

Judy
