Limeade Rainbow Mittens

The above mittens was knitted by a customer of mine, using Limeade Rainbow. The contrasting black yarn really pop the bright colors.

I have lot of projects on the needles. Such as Citron and Pivot shawls, Poppies and Strawberry Latte socks. Off the needles are - Spiral Rib hats, Green Tea handspun socks, Ishbel and 198 yds of Heaven shawls.

Lots of kids activities going on. 6 more school days before break starts. After break, there will be a lot of testing for both kids. Looks like lots of revision this break. I have a couple of yarn to photograph. At the moment, I'm spinning up some Turkish Delights by Enchanted Knoll Farm. This will be for me to knit some lace. Not sure which one yet though. Too many pattern, not enough time. Have to run now. Talk later.
