Lighting still sucks but! Most of a mitten!

I’m doing a convertible fingerless/ mitten pattern so I still have a decent amount to do but I’m pretty happy with it overall.

So I am currently knitting the Magical Flying Husband a tube scarf. I like tube scarves, they are thick and warm and soft and flexible. And this one's coming out fairly prettily, too! But I have never made one before, and I am thinking, well, I made this one pretty wide--a solid eight inches across, because I want him to be able to wrap it across his head if necessary and those four-inch-wide trendy tube scarves can't even cover your ears right. So I think, I will Ask the Internet what their opinion is on the perfect length for a tube scarf, and I will make any necessary adjustments from there in light of the width.

And the first result is a useful forum post, and the second result is a useful-ish Reddit post, and the third response is a little spreadsheet, and the fourth response...

the fourth response is this

I would argue that this is not a scarf

Also I am concerned by the possibility that the smiling human head is there to entice actual mammals closer to the Tube

Fox Paws by Xandy Peters

“Not fierce enough to run with the wolves, but too vicious to find belonging amongst the dogs.”

[ID: Digital illustration of a pinkish coyote on a textured purple/blue gradient square, on top of a cream paper background. The coyote twists in an unnatural way, its limbs in different directions. Its head is thrown back to almost be resting on its back, which it's raised at the read haunches. it’s tail is slightly longer than a real coyote’s and bent at several angles. Its mouth is open in a somewhat blank, aghast expression. it’s yellow eye is larger than average and wide open. the line art is scratchy and in various purple, except for the mouth which is in various shades of pink. The fur is textured and messy, and follows the same patterns of a coyote’s coat in a pink/purple color pallette. There is a cream outline around the coyote that matches the background and also cuts into overlapping elements, such as the back limbs or the head. The cream background has a paper texture that overlaps the rest of the image, In the bottom right is a watermark that reads “LEAVES AND INKS” handwritten inside an oak leaf shape /end ID]

To continue the Clone Commander Shawl project I bring you all Commander Fox

Side note, unlike Cody who was cobbled together from not just different bases but several different fibers, Fox ended up being all the same base... Which was superfine merino wool.

Pattern: Tivoli Shawl

Currently washing, and then will have to wait for it to dry to see if everything evens out, but I’m pretty happy with this thing. Now that it’s finished I’m happy with how the speckles look with the grey.

Have to figure out what I want to do next. I’ve been considering trying socks with the leftovers from the hats but I don’t know if I’d have enough. Need to find a kitchen scale so I can do the math. And find a pattern… also need to frog the one mitten I’d made because I’m ultimately not happy with it and don’t see the point in making a second. Might as well find something else to do with the yarn.

will post better pictures once both gloves are all finished up- but these are looking really nice! the pattern is the Outfoxed Mitts by Erica Heusser on Ravelry. they fit a but snug on me, but they’re going to my bestie with slightly smaller hands than me :o)

had to add a third color bc i was short on the main 2. i think the gold band looks really nice! i also purposefully omitted a few plain stockinette rows to make them a little shorter (without interrupting that colorwork)

(details for yarn on the project’s page on my ravelry)

I'm re-watching the X-Files series, so naturally I need to make more mittens.
