More knitting for yarn
After TW's Wallaby I didn't really have any big projects so
decided to pick up a few more knitting jobs just to have something to
do (and hey, more yarn!)
first up was a really nifty colorwork tam:
Pansy
Garden Tam (rav pattern link, web link here)
the pattern came in a kit with pre-wound balls of jaggerspun wool.
It was very clearly written, and while a few of the colors came a bit
close to running out, it turned out great. I love color work, and
this was such a pretty design!

After the Tam there was a nice trip Through the Woods!
The Through
the Woods hood (rav link) was great fun to knit. And I
think I want one for myself too!
I was almost done when I ran out of yarn, so the great lady I was
knitting for sent more, with the request for a pair of matching
mitts:
Thorough
the Woods Fingerless Mitts. (rav link) by the same
designer.
Both of these projects were a lot of fun, the cables were simple,
but very classic looking, and I just love how the hood turned out.
