I knit mittens! Many, many mittens!
It’s an easy made-up pattern, uses two strands of worsted weight together (or really bulky yarn – that’s the blue.) And here’s the thing – they WORK. If you use real wool and wash in a lanolizing wool wash (my personal favorite is Sudz n Dudz) they are actually waterproof enough to keep out the snow.
I love it, and will be making them again and again. Well, I’ve made ten so far, I guess that’s again and again already! The kids give them two thumbs up. Heh.
I’ll try to write out the pattern soon, it was really, really easy. Thanks Tabitha for giving me the lowdown on the afterthought thumb.
Wow—-I am impressed. And I was all proud of myself because I sewed three fleece hats for the children in one afternoon……which is way easier than knitting (at last for me). Good job!
It was something like a mitten a day. They’re really fast to knit, big thick things!
Love them!! Is that a baby glee I spy at the bottom of the pic??
Why yes it is! Ginormous tummy here 🙂
i need that pattern!
