Project 1: The Hooded Scarf

Inspiration: This one has been in the works for a while. It came from a love for scarves, a hatred of hats, and an obsession for thick, warm, oh-so-soft wool.

Welcome to the new year! I refuse to set any concrete resolutions, because they always feel like a curse – the kind of rules that were made to be broken - but I do have several new projects in the works. I’ve fallen in love with chunky yarns, oversized needles, cables, stripes, and braids. Get ready 2011, I’m expecting a lot of you.

I made these mittens just for me. It's been a hectic few months, and with over thirty pairs stitched and sent to others, I thought I'd treat myself to a set of rusty orange wool mittens. They're adorned with simple bows of faded blue, and made with that thick (we're talking windproof, waterproof, radioactive sewage proof kind of thick) Canadian wool I bought at the fair in September.
