Happy Happy Blogiversary!
I can't believe that 9 years has passed. I met Irish Girlie through our local Knit Nite (I've met the best people that way) and have enjoyed being part of her posse as she discovered and shared her wonderful design skills. The picture above is from our 2009 trip to Port Ludlow and my first Sock Camp so so long ago. So much knitting, food, and fun.
It didn't take long for IGK Designs to start going gangbusters and I got to take pictures of the gorgeous designs usually with the stunning Thayer to model.
The shoot for the Comfort Food mitts and cowl set was a blast and just looking at the pictures makes me want to head to a cafe for some comforting hot chocolate.
I love how a soft chunky yarn makes them feel like a warm hug. Especially if you do them in a luxurious Plucky Knitter yarn like the ones above.
The pattern of cables is so easy to memorize that I chose it to accompany me to Italy last year.
So many good memories come back whenever I slip these on.

This pattern has become my go-to holiday knit. And paired with the cowl or separately, they are sure to be treasured by anyone who receives them. The pattern is 50% off from now until Dec. 13, 11:59pm PST.
Be sure to check out what other IGK designs are popular gifts for the holidays over in the Irish Girlie Ravelry Group December KAL So much loveliness to choose from.

Last year, I went gangbusters on Waiting for Winter mittens (Susan B. Anderson) and made five pairs (three of which were shipped to Wisconsin). I also made three hats: Graham, Barley, and Sorin.
This year? The only handknit gift anyone is getting is a bunny toy for Stormageddon (again, a Susan B. Anderson pattern).
With everyone living all over......it's hard to do Christmas. For us, here in California, I think we're going to do fondue for dinner and that's about it. Nothing exciting.
