What do I have here? Something very tweedy for Autumn! A set of my Tartan & Tweed Tam & Mitts for an Autumn birthday gift, and a pretty nice ensemble of Autumney finds of local acorns and fir cones.
I have used a lovely yarn of alpaca-wool blend called Berroco Ultra Alpaca Light, which I really love, and adorned not with a pompom or toorie, or beret loop ~~ but a Dorset Button.
That is the news from my neck o’ the woods, and I’m roaring along rather productively on another mitt design, soon to be done & dusted with it. I hope you are all having a wonderful Autumn and enjoying the turning of leaves and things to gold & rust, as I am. Its a slow turning in Northern California, but it is beginning!
This fabric looks wonderfully tight to keep out that pesky wind.
Oh thank you Stefanie ~~ the yarn I used is exquisite ! LOVE it for this design ! 🙂
Love the colors you used. Beautiful! I love the dorset button.
Thanks Margo ! I hope you try a few of these buttons from my tutorial ~~ you’ll become hooked on them, they are so addictive! 🙂
On my list of new things to learn. I enjoyed seeing all your samples in a previous blog post.
You have created a stunning fabric!
Thanks so much ! 🙂
Love this new combo! I’m still chugging along here.
Carol, your comments are hugely appreciated ! Love to catch up, I’ll write! xx
Wonderful colours – and a great design, obviously!
