Fingerless mitts

Fingerless Mittens. Really easy project. I used the decrease bind off method on the hand part for a little more elasticity. These are based on Vanilla fingerless mittens by Elinor Gray.

The grey yarn is Blue Sky Alpaca, Alpaca and Silk, from a previous sock project, and the pink, I believe, is a Rowan yarn, that was a gift from a friend. Thanks Abbey!

Clapotis


My mom bought me some Alpaca yarn for Christmas last year from the Ranch of the Oaks farm. I spent over a year trying to find the perfect project for it, and I finally found it in Clapotis by Kate Gilbert on Knity.com. I decided to make it a scarf instead of a shawl. The finished piece is 60" x 9", and is full of twisty stretchy springy goodness.
