A pair of crocheted mittens with a textured, scale-like pattern is displayed on a light surface. The mittens have an intricate design, resembling dragon scales, and are made in a mix of deep blue, gray, and brown tones. The cuffs are ribbed, providing a snug fit. The yarn used for the mittens has a soft and slightly variegated color effect, adding depth to the scale pattern

Souvenir yarn alert!

This is from a shop called Wool For Ewe in #Aberdeen which I definitely recommend, they had a great range and the woman who I assume is the owner was very nice.

Cookston Crafts is a local indie dyer and this is the "Silver City" colourway specifically based on Aberdeen itself, so of course I had to get it.

It's a bit more saturated irl than in the photo, a mixture of greys (for the ever-present granite buildings) and turquoise (for the cool domed roof - I think it's the art gallery?).

It will, to nobody's surprise, be petted for a while and then eventually turn into socks.

A hank of light grey and turquoise hand dyed sock yarn, with a few darker turquoise speckles here and there. The ball band says "Cookston Crafts, hand dyed in Aberdeenshire". 

In the background you can see a bit of our living room with cozy green walls and a giant Attack of the 50 Foot Woman movie art poster.

Off the needles! Same yarn but a different pattern for each sock. Both knit toe up but a different heal construction. #knitting #handmade #SockYarn #sockknitting #handknit #knittingmastodon #knit

Just a bit of #sockknitting #SockYarn to unwind . Very
deep stash dive for this yarn. I bought it in 2011. Does that make
it #vintage #yarn? 🤣 #knitting #knittingsock #handmade

The beginning of a toe up sock. Colors purple and grey.
I finished the pair of Mittens I started last Tuesday. I'm a tad disappointed by the yarn; the colour started out super vibrant and became muted throughout the same skein. It's not the first time I observed this. Ah well, the mittens are still fun. Also, Anniversary! These are the 20th pair of Wyverns & Witchlings Mittens I've made. :D

A hand wearing a fingerless crochet mitten featuring a dragon-scale pattern. The yarn transitions through shades of orange, red, green, and purple, creating a vibrant yet slightly muted effect. The glove extends to cover part of the forearm, with textured layers resembling overlapping scales. A silver ring is visible on the ring finger, and the background is a neutral, light-colored surface.Two wooden mannequin hands are displayed within a wooden shelf, each adorned with fingerless crochet gloves featuring a dragon-scale pattern. The yarn shifts through shades of orange, red, green, and purple, creating a textured, mythical effect. Between them, a small illuminated fountain with an intricate tree design casts a warm glow, adding to the cozy, artistic ambiance.
Yesterday I spent the majority of my day waiting in waiting rooms. My yarn and hook kept me occupied with a pattern I can do almost by heart. First mitt almost done, will get the pair finished at the weekend latest, I hope. #wipwednesday

A ball of multicolored yarn in shades of orange, brown, and blue rests on a beige surface alongside a partially crocheted mitt. A white crochet hook with a green grip lies nearby, signifying an ongoing crafting project. The intricate stitch pattern suggests a skilled hand at work, creating a warm and textured accessory.

New in the shop: Catania, a dreamy pistachio green sock yarn! Soft, strong, and just a little bit nutty. Would you knit with this colour?

I have the luxury that I can do one market per year just for the fun of it. These mittens are by far my bestselling item. So I figured I'll spread out the production a bit throughout the year until end of November and not get into a panic in October and try crocheting as many as I can. :D
Let me present to you the pair finished today, the Unicorn Dragon Mittens. I think they turned out rather wonderful. :D

Just to give you an idea how much I love this pattern for the Dragonmittens. These are 12 out of the 18 I made so far. :-) I love to experiment with different sockyarns for them.

I enjoyed the dinner with my family and friends at A Taskinha, a Portuguese restaurant. I stayed on and waited for another friend to join me for drinks. She was late so I ended up drinking more beer than I thought 😆 but my crochet blanket grew 👍

This is what I affectionately refer to as my afghan that will not end. I've been poking away at it for about 10 years now, in between other projects. One day! One day, I shall get it done.
