🧶🧶🧶 Finished 1st sleeve on Mom's sweater, yay! Just one sleeve to go. Then sew in ends, fix a dropped stitch, wet block, mail to New Jersey.

Mom can try it on and I can lengthen or shorten either the body and/or the sleeves. We'll just have to mail it back and forth if necessary. Hopefully I nailed the measurements. It's extra long bc she wants tunic length.

🧶🧶🧶 New WIP!! Just started making the BonBon mitts now for my old roommate here at the nursing home. She wants them in white just like the pattern shows.

Cute pattern, and free! Using gifted yarn, not sure from who. No belly band, but feels like maybe a wool-synthetic blend...?

So happy to have something fresh to work on, while I also knit the final sleeve on Mom's sweater. Onward!

❓️❓️❓️ Question for the #knitting hive mind - I've got some unlabeled yarn, am trying to figure out if it's a natural fiber or synthetic. I know there's a burn test, but don't know what I'm looking for when I set it ablaze. Can anyone 'splain it to me? Your guidance is much appreciated!

[#]knitting #ThrowbackThursday #FlashbackThursday Artyarns May Day Shawl from 2012, when I was knitting, right before I stopped (got too sick). Very happy to be back at it now! Do I even know where this is, maybe buried in the storage unit?

The latest FO! A Reyna shawl for my new friend here, Maria, who has brought so much sunshine into my life here at this nursing home. She works in Activities and decorates the crap out of this place! Also helps me with things that usually family does, but I have no one nearby. Thanks so much to @ConsumableJoy for the yarn!

For #WIPWendesday, I present to you one nearly finished sleeve on Mom's sweater. At last, I'm approaching the home stretch on the Crème Anglaise sweater! The markers are for decreases I added, to reduce the balloon size a bit. One more sleeve to go. At last!
