MEN!

What man needs 17 pairs of gloves and mittens? SEVENTEEN!And six face masks?

Well, my love,

say goodbye to your little friends...

MWOO HA HA HAAAAAAAAAA.

ps. I learned the brioche stitch. TEDIOUS to learn - a cinch once you get the hang of it. I cast on "Fourteen" by Yarn Ball Boogie with some Dyeabolican Yarn stuff that I spun. It's the color of summer zuchinni.
That's the brioche on a US 13 with very lumpy yarn.

I love brioche stitch. Once you get going, you'll have to try bicolor brioche. Makes for a FABULOUS looking item with very little effort.

BTW, you need to make him that Dwarven Battle Helmet.

Ha ha, that looks like our glove cupboard. My husband has always been a hoarder of sames - once we had 6 tomato ketchups in the cupboard, the other day I realised we had 5 dustpans and brushes and this morning I discovered 4 pairs of trainers and 3 pairs of football boots. Necessary, really?! Love love love that fat wool - gorgeous colours. Reminds me of spring!

The handspun is totally the color of summer squash! What I would give for some of that summer weather right now...

I haven't even picked up my cardigan. I'll have an entire weekend to myself, so hopefully I can buckle down and get it done then.
