The last of the knitting for money...so far

This first pair is for Tara Bicknell, news diva for radio free Haines, KHNS. She wanted autumn colors, I hope I got it right, I couldn't resist a little green and purple...some leaves turn purple, right?
These are birthday mittens for Kayti H. she doesn't know what they look like yet, don't tell her, ok? She asked for "earth tones" again...had to put in the green. Maybe these are a little autumnal too.
This pair are on the hands of Jessy S. already. Fun to make with the addition of the hand dyed purple/blue and the strip of hand dyed green/blue.

There is a missing set that I made for Mellie L. I forgot to photograph them, then she didn't have them with her at the Market then I didn't have my camera with me. Hers are mostly black, white and gray with a bit of red dotting.
A small group portrait of falling mittens. I'm a little glad to be done with mittens for a while, but I've gotten awfully fast at making them. I might celebrate by making myself a pair of the short ones.

totally uncreative title here

These are the extra long fingerless mittens I knitted as the prototype and sold to Megan at the former workplace. Lessons learned...hmmm well, I don't like that maroon color and most people don't like the gold color. 1x1 rib is a lot faster than the 2x2 I used here and I need to use smaller needles on the ribbing by the fingers. Oh, and the second mitten is much faster than the first, no thinking about what's next.

This pair went to Cassie at the market...I like the colors better here. The lavender/blue is some that I hand dyed a few years ago. I used a crock pot to provide non agitating heat for the acid dyes to set. Said crock pot has been re-recruited to make food so I need another one for the dye, I just don't think alternating food and acid dyes is a good idea, ya know?

3 more pairs of these mittens in the line up...it pays the bills!
