Marcela Socks

Marcela Socks

Named after Marcela, the shepherdess of Don Quixote (published in 1605) whose feminist message still resonates today, and who refused to live her life on anyone’s terms but her own.

I used 2 skeins of Mizzle, and one skein each of Bulderin’ Clouds, Bibble Bug, Fairy Thimble and Fuzzpig.

Overwinter Tam and Mittens

Overwinter Tam and Mittens

Briggs and Little Heritage is a workhorse yarn from Canada’s oldest woolen mill. It’s hearty and wonderful for keeping you toasty when the temperature drops!

This pattern is suitable for the knitter with experience reading a chart and stranded colorwork.

Overwinter Tam

The hat will fit an average adult, with a head circumference of 19-23”
Hat circumference (unstretched): 22”
Height from brim to crown: 9.25”

Overwinter Tam and Mittens

To block a tam, dry over an inverted dinner plate perched over a vase or mixing bowl.

I used one skein each of Fundy Fog and Plum. One skein each will make both the Overwinter Tam and the matching Overwinter Mittens.
