I have a new pattern for sale on Ravelry -
Nor'easter Hat & Mitten set. For those of you who don't live in New England, a Nor’easter is a type of storm common during the winter in the Northeastern US that occurs when cold air coming from the Arctic Air Mass converges with warmer air from the Gulf Stream. These cosy mittens and hat will keep you warm even in the worst snowy weather.
They are a quick knit in chunky yarn and a perfect blank slate for simple embellishments. My embroidery skills leave a lot to be desired, but I learned quite a bit from
this book.
100% of the proceeds from
Nor'easter patterns sold between now and February 28th will be donated to
Doctors Without Borders to assist with their work in Haiti. You can find other patterns for sale on Ravelry whose designers have pledged to donate proceeds to Haitian Relief funds
here.
How cute is my colleague Alexandra (Editorial Assistant Extraordinaire) who graciously agreed to model for me?
The white set is done in
Valley Yarn's Northampton Bulky which is a nice soft bulky wool (at a bargain price). The dark green set is done in
Malabrigo Chunky which is extremely soft (but I have some fears that it will pill up with wear).
Of course the day I finished these, we're having a January thaw and it is too warm and soggy outside for thick woolies. But this is New England and the Nor'easters will come...
