Fritzi, new mitts

I finished knitting several pairs of finger-less gloves, mitts, using a lovely hand-dyed wool from Plain and Fancy. I've put them in Fritzi, my Etsy shop. I love the way they look and feel. The way the yarn is dyed makes each mitt look different. It's so interesting to see how these turn out. Now, I'm starting to use the merino-cashmere mix. I've never used such good (think: expensive) yarn before. I really like the way it feels and knits up. I wish there was a word like "yummy" to describe this yarn. Maybe that IS the word!

Oooohhh, cashmere! Now that is yummy!

I'm glad you stopped by. And I'm happy we're in sych! Of all the designs, it's fun that we picked the polka dots. We seem to have quite a bit in common including our friend Andrea.

Did you have your hair cut today? Hope it turned out beautifully!

How did I get into this?

I was asked when I started doing Mailart. Good question. Like many artists, I was making and mailing art without even knowing it had a name ...
