Merino5-ornament

oh my!

This is a simply smashing and innovative new hat design by Sandi Rosner - it's a spiral!
She's used only two balls of Mochi Plus here - in colorway tropical ginger

new fingerless gauntlet.

I've called this design a gauntlet as it's longer than a typical fingerless glove or short mitt. The reason for the extra length is to protect one's arms from the coat-glove gap!! [that horrible place where the cold wind whistles in and you're not covered] of course they're fun to wear any time!




the yarn is the new Mochi+, in the rainbow colorway, and only one color is used, with fun of using different color sections from two balls.

Mini-mochi fair isle hat and mittens!

These are just wonderful, aren't they? !

The design is by Sandi Rosner, who's also written some very popular & inspirational books, including
"Not Just Socks",
"Not just More socks"
and "Not just socks for kids", all three of which I found on Amazon.

I think that the renaissance of 60's and 70's fashion inspired these... two colors of Panda Superwash, and they were fun to knit!
