I took part in National Knit Mittens Month (NaKniMiMo) over on Ravelry this month.
While the hedgehog mittens took me longer than I expected, I did manage to finish two more pair of mittens.
The Winter Wonderland Mittens from Classic Elite.
I used the yarn called for by the pattern - Classic Elite Fresco. It's a cuddly soft mix of wool, alpaca and angora. I really enjoyed this yarn, and the mittens are already getting a fuzzy angora halo.
Ben asked for another pair of fingerless mittens.
I used some handspun coopworth/sari silk yarn that has been aging in the stash.
These are so quick and easy - long tubes of ribbing with large button holes for the thumbs.
I made five pair for my co-workers holiday gifts, all from handspun.
Always love the fingerless. Definitely considering the winter wonderland pair to replace my lost mittens. As always, excellent!
ReplyDeleteI was thinking of making some fingerless but then got on to making a purse.....oh, too many projects floating around in my brain!
