End of May Mittens

February 3, 2010 By Carole

Oooh look! More knitting! More mittens!

end of may mittens pair

I finished the End of May Mittens on Monday – just after the January NaKniMitMo deadline.

The yarn is the Berrocco Ultra Alpaca that I bought at the Wool Basket in Duxbury. I love the raspberry and brownish gray combination.

The lining is a bit of Debbie Bliss Cashmerino.  The alpaca and cashmerino together make for incredibly soft mittens.

And that is a very very good thing. Especially given a certain ground hog’s prediction this week.

    Another nice pair of mittens. I hope you’re keeping these for yourself to get through the next few weeks. I think we ought to teach that darned groundhog a lesson.

    Nice! Everytime I see a new pair of these I think I’ve seen my favorite combination. They sound so lux on the hands, too.

If there’s one thing the pandemic has been good If there’s one thing the pandemic has been good for, it’s my sourdough game. I actually started learning about making sourdough bread a week before the stay at home orders thanks to @sprboston as he shared his starter and recipe and technique with me. Since then I have kept Mama Cass fed and alive and have baked many loaves of bread. This one might be my best one yet. I did the final proof in the fridge for 24 hours and baked it from its cold state. Great spring and ear and crumb, it was delicious with dinner tonight. #sourdough #sourdoughbread #lookatthatcrumb #lookatthatear #homebakedbread #imadeitmyself #homemadeisbest
