It just so happened that I ordered Baby Boo pumpkin seeds back in January. When I did a little photo shoot today to see if I could finally get a good shot of my sister's and her fiance's rings, I spied this little fellow out of the corner of my eye.

In February, I published a mitten pattern with Windy Valley Muskox . It takes about 1 1/2 skeins of this fabulous yarn so you'll have to buy two. Of course, you could make the cuffs longer! I'm thinking I need a version with fingers (aka gloves). It's on the back burner, for the moment. In the meantime, let me tell you how lovely it is to work with qiviut! It is one of the softest fibers, definitely the lightest, and so warm for the weight; it's best as a light layer under others, and luxurious close to the skin. Sometimes, people misunderstand and think that qiviut comes from the inside coat (I'm not sure how to imagine that), or the underbelly of the muskox; that's because it is often described as the "under coat." What this actually means is that it's the down layer, and grows during the cold months, closer to the skin, all over the animal; it's like down feathers on a duck. I worked for WVM for several yea...
Very Cute! I LOVE ring pictures. Do you follow Bobby & Mike's blog? They always have some really fun ring pictures from the weddings they do
