Pattern: Winter Twilight Mitts
Yarns: Abstract Fiber Supersock, Burnside; Knit Picks Essentials, Black
Needles: US 1 & 0
Of course the first one feels snugger to me than the second one and I knit them the same way - inside out both times. I must have been more relaxed and comfortable for the second one. It's not a HUGE difference, just noticeable to me.
Here they are:
I have enough of the Burnside leftover that I'm pretty sure I can get at least one sample of the pattern made as a store sample for Susan. But she'll have to wait a bit before I start it, I want to work on something else for a bit! ;-)
I live in the Great Pacific Northwest where I read lots of books, you can check them out in my Shelfari bookshelf to the right. I currently knit and spin and have become more active in the SCA so more sewing! I also do quilt and bead-work and have learned how to Norse wire weave. I do have past experience with crochet and ceramics, but don't do a lot of it now. I may also be lured into weaving in the near future, so life is fun and interesting! Come share my adventures!
Those are so cool! I love handpainted yarns with solids... it looks so luminous. I also like the resemblance to stained glass. Aversion to slightly different fit is also why I'm liking two at a time socks. :)
ReplyDeleteThose are really nice!
ReplyDeleteI'm currently trying to get the two socks on two circulars at the same time going. Found a fun page to show my how to do it. Kind of fits into the 'pirate' game on Facebook: http://knitlikeapirate.com/techniques/two-on-two.shtml

The mitts are really beautiful. I have admired that pattern ever since I saw it. Great job!
