My Crafty Life: Some finished objects

Since my Evolution of a Fingerless Glove post, I've been working on my double pointed needle skills. I've successfully completed another fingerless glove in a peacock variegated yarn,

and another fingerless glove in a pink yarn. I plan on making a mate for the pink fingerless glove.

I also started making a pink hat on dpns with the idea of it wearing it with the gloves. However, I goobered the pattern and I now have a pink baby hat! I'll save it for my first little girl whenever I have her.

I visited my parents and grandparents this weekend. My grandfather is not doing so well right now, so I went down to visit and hang out. Saturday I spent the morning over at my grandparents with my mom, and then my mom and I went to Hobby Lobby for some yarn shopping. I don't think I have ever visited my family and not come home with new yarn for my stash.

As you can see I picked up some lovely browns. I also picked up my first taste of Alpaca yarn. Granted the Bernat Alpaca Natural Blends is 70% Acrylic and 30% Alpaca. The color is Wheat and it's still pretty soft. I plan on getting some 100% natural Alpaca from KnitPicks to see how soft it is. Anyways, I'm using the Alpaca to knit up some mittens. Here's my first mitten. I kind of goobered this pattern a little too. So I might make two more mittens since I have more than enough of the yarn left.
