A pair of mittens!

Publicerat 2012-09-11 20:29:23 i General

Many years ago I knitted up a pair of mittens for my youngest sister. I was in a Guernsey-period, and the mittens were higly infuenced by the lovely Guernsey-patterns. I even used the pure Guernsey-wool - which was very pretty, but maybe not the most comfortable choice as the wool is extremely rough. When I decided to make a remake I went for the softest alpaca I could find - the Ilo alpaca from Bolivia. This is a gorgeous, soft fair-trade and eco-friendly yarn existing in several natural shades. The softness of the mittens made me want to pair them with a soft hat - based on the same pattern. I'm so pleased with the result!

Here are some pictures for you to judge!

Om mig

Hello everyone! I'm Anne, a Norwegian "girl" by birth and heart, living in Sweden since ages ago. I'm a romantic and naive person that could easily live in a forest knitting all day from morning to evening. Life's got a hold on me though, I work part-time, live in a suburban area, and need to do lots of boring stuff apart from knitting. Life has changed a bit for me recently as I used to live in a beautiful, old house in the tiniest village in the countryside, and now find myself surrounded by lots of people everywhere I go. I miss my countryside-life; but there are advantages by living in a modern house - I do not have to spend much time on household or gardening - and that gives me the possibilities of knitting more - and even the time needed to write down my patterns. I have knitted since childhood, immensly inspired by my 2 grandmothers; one that stood for her fantastic skill in all handicrafts, the other stood for quality and taste. My mother was about the most creative person I have ever known - she worked in all fields of handicraft except for pottery. I love color, fashion, design, knitting. If you like to look further at my design I have my patterns presented at www.ravelry.com - profile "Asmaloy". If you want to get in contact me you could write me in English, Norwegian, Swedish, French or Spanish throug my letterbox in Ravelry. I will be happy to answer you back - but please forgive my poor Spanish. http://www.ravelry.com/designers/anne-b-hanssen
