60 Quick Knits

I started this mitten last night from the great Cascade 220 60 Quick Knits book I got down at Tangled Skein.... I am absolutely loving it!  The colors were selected by a young woman in my life and I'm really pleased with how they are coming together.  They are so vibrant and will really help bring some warmth to her winter.  (please forgive the fuzzy cell phone photo)

60 Quick Knits :  Wonderfully soft, beautifully textured, and remarkably affordable, Cascade 220 is one of the most popular yarns on the market, and 60 Quick Knits in Cascade 220 is the first trade book devoted to this wonderful yarn. In this stunning volume of all-new projects, many of today’s top knitwear designers come together to create an irresistible collection of hats, scarves, and mittens—all in Cascade 220. There’s something for everyone, from an adorable monkey-face hat and a dazzling mosaic pattern scarf to a classic muffler and Fair Isle flower mittens. Knitters will find plenty of inspiration and beauty here!

Interweave Knits Holiday Gifts magazine

Youngest son's hockey has been severely cutting into my "Tangled Skein" time lately and I am really feeling it!  I just received an email today that the Interweave Knits Holiday Gifts magazine is coming soon so I have a great excuse to stop in soon!

 Look at the preview of some of the patterns... you'll probably add quite a few to your gift giving list like I did.
