Mindless Knitting

I'm in the mood for mindless knitting, a project I can easily work on while hanging out, chatting.


I visited the Yarn Basket in Portsmouth, NH and found two beautiful yarns.

The purple is 220 Superwash Paints by Cascade Yarns in color 9871 (Grape).


My plan is to make two more Misty Garden scarves, for gift-giving opportunities that pop up.


The orange yarn is worsted weight by Riverstone Yarns Hand-dyed natural fibers in color Tangerine. It was made in the US, but dyed in Creston, British Columbia. (I can't find a link to it to show you....but you can see my pictures!)


I just noticed that last August I started my first Misty Garden scarf. Must be something about this time of year....

Maybe you're just wishing it was cool enough to wear a scarf! I know I am! Pretty colors!

Yes, this must be the month for shawls and scarves. I started another shawl this week, too.
The colours you chose are beautiful!

LOL, I'm looking and plotting and planning towards the holidays right now myself. Love the Riverstone yarn. Is it a single? You'll have to let us know how you liked working with it.

Very pretty colors. Yes, I like "mindless knitting" too. It's great to have something you don't have to think about while being social with others.

Hugs,

Beautiful colors! Sure would love a pair of those handwarmers you made last year---the ones with the fingers out.

I love mindless knitting and also your skeins. I'm a little cranky that Google didn't show me that you had updated your blog.
