Yet another finished Christmas knit!


Pattern: Bertie!
Yarn: Artesano Alpaca Inca Cloud, Steel Blue, 2 x 50g (Which is really hard to photograph accurately. The actual colour is somewhere between the two photos.)
Modifications: I used an i-cord border, taken from the Backyard Leaves scarf in Scarf Style instead of the original garter stitch edging, and omitted the garter stitch rows at the beginning and end of the scarf.

So can I finally knit something for me? Not quite. Just got some socks for my sister to finish:


Observe the gorgeousness of the gusset:


Those wise monkeys know what they’re talking about.

And then it’s time for Endpaper Mitts!

    I hope you’re not spreading my gusset secrets on the infoweb. If everyone has hole-free gussets no one will think I’m great anymore.
