These are going to be fingerless mittens for someone, out of my handpsun "Warmed" Hello Yarn roving. It's so yummy squishy :)
Pattern: Daisy Mitts by Mary Kay Bishop for Madelinetosh
Yarn: 2 skeins of madtosh sock in bark and ginsing

I have been sick like you read about and couldn't do anything more complicated than stockinette stitch. I did manage to finish a couple of projects, though!
The yarn's all handspun, but not by me. The mittens in the back are made from some super yummy yarn spun up by Vera and the knee socks in the front are made from a mix of Southern Cross Fibre wools (Horizons and Arms Crossed) spun up by Moa. People who give you yarn are AWESOME.

Handknit chullo from the market in Pisac, in the Sacred Valley of Peru. Many of the hats in the market are now synthetic dyes and machine knit; that is why I was pleased to see this lovely piece. It is handknit, in traditional style with alpaca motifs, and dyed with natural dyes. It is wool and alpaca handspun blend. So beautiful.

How did I not know how amazing it is to knit with handspun merino silk blend yarn?!? These feel wonderful!
Knit these on the road, just kind of making it up as I went along. Typing it out here so I remember what I did in case I want to do it again.
Used size 1.5 needles and my own handspun yarn- gauge of 8.5 spi.
Cast on 56 stitches, join for knitting in the round.
17 rows of 1 x1 rib.
50 rows of stockinette.
Begin thumb gusset- M1, K1, M1... knit 2 rows
M1, K3, M1... knit 2 rows and etc. until there are 15 stitches in the thumb gusset. Reserve thumb stitches on a strand of waste yarn and cast on one stitch where the thumb gusset was.

Cast off.
Pick up thumb stitches and three extra stitches, 18 stitches total. Knit 4 rounds. 1x1 rib for 5 rounds. Cast off.
