And the MAPLE SOCKS<\/b>: And new to these pages, my ATACAMA MITTS<\/b>: And now we’re on to December. I’ve started my last of the year’s socks, and the Christmas presents are proceeding very well.

But that doesn’t mean I didn’t have things to share: First off, the HOLLY & IVY SCARF & WRAP: which I’m so happy with. I’ve been wearing the scarf everywhere, and … <\/p>\n

\nPattern<\/b>: Dragon Scale Gauntlets<\/a>, by Annemarie Pearson
\nYarn<\/b>: Araucania Atacama, colorway 503
\nNeedles<\/b>: US5\/3.75 mm
\nNotes<\/b>: These are to match a cowl I finished all the way back in July<\/a>. I knit the first one, put them down, picked them back up after Thanksgiving and decided I didn’t like how long it was. So back it went, and I knit them much shorter. Modifications: I only knit two repeats, and then compressed all the decreases into the next repeat, and then went directly into the thumb. It’s a great quick pattern, easily adjusted for fit, and goes extremely well with the cowl. I am thinking about doing a headband to match and make a full set, as I still have a pretty decent chunk of yarn left.<\/p>\n
