pass me a rainbow please

we woke this morning to the wonderful sound of raindrops on the roof. it was so refreshing after months of no rain at all, and a relief to be cool at last. i was inspired to finish another ufo i had on the needles that i started at the beginning of the year. by the time the sun burnt off the clouds and the humidity had risen, i had cast off the last row. phew!

sartorial mitts

over a morning coffee chat i sewed in all the ends and because these mitts are knitted in the round they were finished. i got the idea for these fingerless mittens from lion brand in a story by Michelle Edwards and the pattern was from Charmed Knits with a few minor fit alterations for my narrow hands. its still much too warm to wear them but my model was happy to try them on anyway!
