Mmmalabrigo Knitting Mitts

These were so amazingly quick to make, they took two evenings (cos I am a slow knitter).

I wanted something to keep my hands warm when knitting in bed in the evening and these do the trick. They would also be good for avoiding mouse-hand!

30g of Malabrigo worsted, colour Orchid, using 4.5mm needles. I used magic loop for the first time and I love it!

The pattern is Web Surfing Mitts by Melissa McCurley.

Calorimetry

I recently knitted Calorimetry from Knitty.

I made it from some of the Orchid Malabrigo I had left after making the clapotis. So I guess they're a matching set! Although to be honest, not sure if I'll wear this, certainly DH will make some derisive comment.

But who will have the warmest ears?

Malabrigo Clapotis

Well, it's finally finished, the lovely clapotis! Here I am in all my headless glory:

It's made in Malabrigo Worsted, colour Orchid. I used 5mm needles and 315g of yarn.

The ladies at my knitting group had a fondle and can attest to its amazing softness!

I will definately knit more in Malabrigo, it's a shame it's so difficult to get hold of in the UK... Thank God for Ebay!
