Hey there, 👋
I know it’s been a little quiet on the blog lately. I am still plugging along on the afghan and making slow progress. I completed another color and have five more to go. That’s 30 hexagons for those of you keeping score.
I had a birthday 🎂 last week. Jerry took me out to our favorite place for pizza and local craft beer. I made one of my favorite desserts too, instead of cake, lemon meringue pie. Here’s my go to recipe for it. Works perfectly every time. You can thank me later.
You may recall last year that I was knitting a pair of fingerless mitts in my Classic Merino Superwash Sock yarn. I had a few requests for the pattern and I have finally gotten to writing and publishing it. I have it on Ravelry and on my website.
I am extending the special introductory offer that I ran last week from my social media. Beginning today and running through February 8, 2021, you can have the pattern for free with purchase of a skein of yarn to make it. I wrote the pattern for both fingering weight and sport weight yarn. I linked the fingering weight above and here’s the Classic Merino Superwash Sport yarn.
The special free pattern offer is good only on my website. Just pick your yarn and color and then add it and the Shapely Mitts pattern to the cart. Add the code SHAPELY when you begin the check out process for $5 discount. If you have any problems or questions please contact me at knittingnotions@gmail.com. Thanks for reading!
Happy happy birthday! I hope you had a lovely day and got lots of knitting time.
Thank you! It was a nice day. I don’t think I did much knitting that day but dinner out was fun. 🥰
The mitts are great, and your yarn is so beautiful! A happy belated birthday to you!! I prefer pie to cake on my birthday. My pie of choice is cherry. Fortunately, my birthday is in June so fresh cherries are available.
Thank you! I like cherry pie too but in January it’s only canned filling and I don’t like using that. :-)
Happy belated Birthday, and I had to say that lemon meringue pie looks amazing, I love them ❤️
Thank you!
