More Mitts 2
Posted by: Steve on: April 8, 2011
The colourful fingerless mitts for Jenny are almost half done! I’m now praying that I have enough of the yarn left to at least make the second mitt. Whether they have button bands or not will very much depend on how the yarn holds out. So, the first mitt now looks like this: I won’t [...]

Yes, I’m afraid so! As a project to break up the strain of knitting the sweater in black, these mitts should prove effective! It’s the Fable Fingerless Mitts pattern again, but now it’s an adventure. I’m using the yarn Jenny bought for me yesterday as I only have 50g of it. These mitts will be for [...]

I have just completed the second part of the Frog Trilogy! This time, it’s a pair of fingerless mitts. The original pattern includes wrist straps but I left them out for this particular pair. I decided not to put the frogs fully on the backs of the mitts as I thought that would look too [...]
Baby Knits
Posted by: Steve on: February 20, 2011
Finished a nice set of lace pattern bootees and mittens yesterday: Lace Pattern Bootee and Mitten Set I used the 4-ply Lace Pattern Set pattern in Hayfield baby’s bootique booklet (#7016) but used double knit (8-ply) yarn on smaller needles. It’s a nice, easy pattern to work. Happily, they were very well received!
