Knitting and reading...for once a change. Actually, two Yarn Along posts in one because I'm disorganized/behind like that. Same project, finally finished, both with books ;-). We'll not speak any more about the Yarn Over And Over And Over And Over post in between.
The start of my Sweet Fern Mitts from A Knitter's Book of Wool by Clara Parkes. My Sweet Dern Iris watching over a ball of leftover Jester yarn that I knew would be perfect for this project.
"It's much easier to babysit yarn than sheep. We should just skip the sheep part and buy our yarn I think."
Nooooooooo! Besides, I know you're just kidding, Iris ;-).
And the finished mitts. Resting comfortably on a new book by Clara Parkes, The Yarn Whisperer. 20 and I picked up a copy at Rhinebeck and even got the author to sign it. She was delightful (see Twitter picture that I seem to have lost my tech ability to link to anymore :-/) and we are looking forward to reading it.

Good job on the mittens. It's about time Iris is a feature for a change.
Love the mitts! I may need to get the book now.
I know! That's the main reason I included the start pictures :-). Can't believe how old she's looking :-(.
Iris looks like she's about to go to sleep! Sweet, sweet girl.
such sweet mitts!!! and an even sweater puppy!!
I read The Yarn Whisperer and loved it, but my copy wasn't signed gosh darn it ;)
I love your mitt and now want to cast on a pair for me.
It's been so cold here that mittens are actually needed ! They are beautiful !
Very heartfelt photo of Iris
BC's just know when to close their eyes or look down..buggers:(
the Yarn Whisperer is on my list!
Oh, curse you crazysheeplady! :) Not really - but now I have to get that Knitter's Book of Wool! I have actually been looking for a resource on all things wool, so it's perfect timing. I just love old doggies. There is something almost magical about them.
What a sweet dogger..........
yup, easier to buy wool than herd sheep :)
I love those mittens!
