diamonds.
I’m so excited about the first one of these mittens came out. I decided to modify the End of May mittens (I’ve made them before) to be a repeat of the diamond pattern meant for the undersides. And I thought using the new speckled Madelinetosh Tosh Vintage in the Holi Festival colorway would be that…

clayoquot baby.
I really love the way this version of Tin Can Knits Clayoquot hat came out–and I intend to gift it to my sister in law for my nephew. It’s knit up using Madelinetosh Tosh Vintage (superb for kids because you can throw it in the washing machine and its a pretty durable yarn) in whiskers…

speckled.
I splurged and got some of those incredible Madelinetosh speckled skeins, in the tosh vintage. This is from left to right “Filtered Light” and “Holi Festival”. I know the knitting community is abuzz about these colorways, but I have seen few finished products on ravelry in the vintage version–but definitely plenty in the tosh lite.…

stockings | complete.
Homemade, with Pendleton wool remnants. I started working on this project and my mum finished it for me. Basically, she did almost everything–I cut out the patterns. Mostly because Pendleton wool remnants are quite hard yet for me to sew, what with my limited skills. I am so pleased with the way they came out;…
