Yesterday I went to TWIST, a fab craft fair. They charged $3 to get in (and it wasn't even a charity fundraiser!), but the first 75 people in the door got goody bags full of all kinds of great loot. I bought somebody a really nice graduation prezzie there.

I made this monster for four-year-old Eloise, who said when she got her, "I've been waiting for her for my whole life." Purple and pink are Eloise's favorite colors.

Prezzie for one of my mates. There are now 11 or 12 pairs of my hand knit mitts being worn by Londoners, most by my Flickr mates, but three pair by the wankers who nicked them from their intended recipients.

These comfy, wool sox were knit from a really great pattern with easy, faux cables. She'll have to take a photo of herself wearing them while doing some super-bendy yoga position.

ScribeGirl was the recipient of one of my first pairs of photographer's mitts, and she wore them out. These are a replacement pair. Even though she now lives in The South, she still has need for fingerless mitts when on winter photo rambles.

The cables are reversible, so the scarf looks the same on both sides, which is very cool. The yarn is wicked soft -- wool, silk and cashmere.

My friend Blue Peninsula wrote this great pattern . NB: I screwed up the first row of "berries;" the pattern is written just fine, but one shouldn't try this after a big Thanksgiving dinner, a few glasses of wine, and in dim light, as I did.

All the best-dressed photographers wear fingerless mitts. Made with self-striping sock yarn on teeny tiny needles. I love the scrunchy ruffles on the cuffs.

Made with bamboo yarn left over from my sweater. Rosenbeans likes that it's very soft and no-itch.

I made these mitts for Major (the blue pair) and Minor (the red pair). Myrtle tells me they are a big hit.
