I'm back & The first project in new year

Hello my dear friends!
I'm sorry for being silent for a long time again.
But I needed time to think about what I do and what I should do...
I hope you'll forgive me :)

Доброе время суток мои дорогие друзья!
Прошу прощения за долгое молчание. Мне нужен был перерыв, чтобы подумать, что я делаю и что мне следует делать...
Я надеюсь, что Вы меня простите :)

The first project of new knitting year were the pair of Knitted & felted mittens for my husband. It needed to keep hands warm while shoveling snow outside. We have a real winter here :)))

Первый проект нового вязального года вязаные и немного приваляные варежки для мужа. Необходимо держать руки в тепле пока разгребаешь снег. У нас тут настоящая зима :)))

Yarn: Bernat Super Knitting Worsted 182.0 yards (166.4m)
Needles: US 7 - 4.5 mm
Mittens were a little felted by hands in hot water with soap.
Варежки были слегка привалены вручную в горячей воде с мылом.

I have more things to show. So, stay tuned :)))
У меня еще есть, что показать. Оставайтесь на связи :)))

Yours,

Bunch of mitts

Hello my dear friends.
I'm sorry for being silent for a long time.
But I'm here now with bunch of mitts for friends and my Etsy store.
Also I've knitted more New Year gifts but I can't show them until they be received :)

The pair of teal mittens was knit as a test for updating my Spruce mitts pattern with full length mittens. The real color is on the first photo.

Musketeer socks / Мушкетерские носки

The fall cold comes quickly...

So, it's needed to keep feet warm. Meet Porthos socks :) for my DH.

I've used stitch pattern only from  Porthos socks by Caoua Coffee and made toe-up version (I highly recommend this method). 

Yarn: 2 skeins = 436 yds / 400 m) of Valley Yarns Huntington in Navy colorway
Needles: US 0 - 2.0 mm, US 000 - 1.5 mm (for rib)

Осенний холод наступает. Поэтому нужно держать ноги в тепле.
Встречайте носки Портос для мужа :) 

Я использовала только узор от носков Портос дизайнера Caoua Coffee, а сами носки вязала от мыска (очень рекомндую этот способ). 

Пряжа: 2 мотка = 400 метров) Valley Yarns Huntington, цвет темно-синий / нэви
Спицы: 2.0 мм, 1.5 мм (для резинки)
