Bunch of mitts

Hello my dear friends.
I'm sorry for being silent for a long time.
But I'm here now with bunch of mitts for friends and my Etsy store.
Also I've knitted more New Year gifts but I can't show them until they be received :)

The pair of teal mittens was knit as a test for updating my Spruce mitts pattern with full length mittens. The real color is on the first photo.

Spruce cowl pattern

My new pattern Spruce cowl has been published a few days ago.

The cowl with textured and cabled pattern is cozy and warm.
Pattern is available in two sizes small and large (twisted twice around a neck) and adapted for flat knitting (buttoned cowl) and knitting in the round.

Length / Circumference relaxed after blocking:
Small - 19.5”/50 cm
Large - 47”/120 cm
Width: 9”/22 cm
Cowl size is easily adjustable.
Functional buttons give more options of wearing large size cowl and using it as a scarf.

Home is...

This cross stitch project was waiting for right framing long-long-long time.
Picture has unusual size so all photo frames don't match.
And one day I was lucky to find suitable frame :) , really lucky day...

Этот проект ждал "правильную" рамку очень долго.
Картинка имеет нестандартный размер, т.е. все фоторамки пролетают мимо. Но однажды мне повезло найти подходящую по размеру и немного "драную" рамочку. Счастье :)
