Rhys's Pieces

Here is a peek at the hooded scarf I have been working on.  Its toddler size and I think its pretty cute.
 I haven't gotten the mittens done yet.  One is mostly done, I stalled for a bit in deciding exactly how much "room to grow" I wanted to leave in them.  
 I finally decided on putting buttons on the ends of the scarf and attaching the mittens to i-cords that would attach to the buttons.  This will allow the mittens to be swapped out for bigger ones as he grows, since I assume the hooded scarf will fit longer than the mittens will, or for the mittens to just be removed entirely if they are becoming a nuisance.  
I took copious notes as I was knitting this hooded scarf and plan to put the full pattern out eventually, but you will have to be patient.  I will link the mitten pattern I am using, but I am not going to reinvent the wheel just to put a mitten pattern with this scarf pattern.  

So that's all I have for now, really.  I do have a couple of other things in progress, hoping to finish up a few commissioned hats this week.  

Keep an eye out next month for some giveaways I will be doing on a couple other people's blogs.  I also hope to get to host a few giveaways from blog friends here.  I have on lined up for February, I think, so stay tuned, I think that should be a lot of fun.  

Don't forget about the January Picture Promotion.  January is almost over!  In February I will be having a referral promotion, more details on that soon.

This is a simply beautiful hand knitted scarf. I could have never thought of such an innovative hood scarf. I will try getting the border made with fur. A fur scarf will also look beautiful.

GIVEAWAY!!!

As many of you know, I love working with hand dyed yarn.  I especially love Farm Girl Fiber yarn!  Bridgette has an eye for color and has a lot of fun with what she does.  That is why I am so super thrilled that Farm Girl Fiber is sponsoring this giveaway in honor of my opening an etsy shop!   Before the goods, a recap:  I made this Acorn Head hooded cowl for myself on Christmas this year.  I've known pretty much since I bought the yarn exactly what it was going to be, I just had to find time to do it.  This cowl was out of my FGF birthday yarn!  You can't tell in the picture, but it has just this hind of sparkle to it.  Love! I made 2 of these for two different swaps and I really wish I had made and kept one for myself while she still had the yarn!  It was so super soft and super bulky and fantastic!  Sometimes Farm Girl Fiber has very limited lots of things, so if you find something you love, you really need to snatch it up. ...
