February is always a short month, and yet I got so many things done. Behold:<\/p>\n

PRETTY QUIVIUT<\/B>:
\n\"Pretty<\/a>
\nPattern<\/b>: Pretty Thing<\/a> by Stephenie Pearl-McPhee
\nYarn<\/b>: Windy Valley Muskox Qiviuk, a magnificent surprise that I won as a door prize at the Ravelry Rhinebeck Party last fall.
\nNeedles<\/b>: US 4\/3.5 mm
\nNotes<\/b>: Wow. Magnificent combination of yarn and pattern. Despite all the lace, this is insanely warm, so warm that when I tried it on in the house once it was blocked I started feeling overheated immediately. This will be magnificent for days when I need to dress up a little. The yarn… oh, the yarn. I can only say thank you, and wow. I will be making the pattern again, but that yarn was a once-in-a-lifetime thing and I enjoyed every moment of working with it. This is a FO I will treasure.<\/p>\n

GREEN CLAPOTIS<\/B>
\n\"Green<\/a><\/p>\n

Pattern<\/b>: Clapotis<\/a> by Kate Gilbert
\nYarn<\/b>: Estelle Cadenza, in the oh-so-descriptive colorway of 960, which came to me as a destash from the excellent Glenna<\/a>.
\nNeedles<\/b>: US 5\/3.75 mm
\nNotes<\/b>: This is a project that I had on my to-do list for nearly a year, when Glenna came to New York on a visit and like a yarn fairy, left destashed skeins in her wake, including this green goodness that magically went wonderfully with my Anemoi mittens. Since I like to make a Clapotis every year (it’s just one of my many delightful quirks) this seemed like an excellent choice for this year’s. The yarn works delightfully, with just enough silk content (20%) to make it soft and inviting without weighing down the wool after it’s gone through a bath.<\/p>\n

This is a marvelous FO that works just as I’d hoped with the mittens, and sometime I might even photograph them together for you.<\/p>\n
