More Criss Cross in Orange

First things first: I won a lovely gingerbread ornament at Yvonne W. Thank you Yvonne, they are too cute!

This shows you what I wanted to sew next once I was done with the orange madness (and possibly the classic brother's blue top). But then I made a strategic mistake: I showed Betacarotin to MyGuy, fully knowing he loves orange. Well, no, you cannot have the one I have finished (because it is a concept art for both brothers), so what is a wife to do? I started cutting and sewing another 117 blocks of Crisscross Applesauce. This time the center 4 patches will be green. One block done so far...

Betacarotin Top done

I am well pleased how this turned out. When I made the last couple of blocks I thought it was all going to be one big orange blob with no value changes, but thanks to some yellows and reds it does not look too bad. As for the top name, well have a look at the close up - photorealistic carrotts. So I started thinking about pumpkins and other orange fruits and vegetables and that is when the common denominator came to mind: betacarotin. This means that the wild brother's top is done and next is the blue one for the older brother.

Warm feet

Left overs knit up in toe up socks for me, just stockinette.

In just two days these fingerless mitts have joined my hand knits. Made from left over sock yarn they are the test object to see if they are practical for me.
