Yesterday I decided I need one more small fair isle project before doing my EPS yoke, so have cast on these darling mittens many of you have already made. I’m using Cascade 220 superwash in red and white. We’ll see if mine measure up to the previously established cuteness. I am, by way of a progress report, at the second Estonian Braid. On the second go-’round of the second braid, actually: late last night I had a brief moment of inattention which resulted in a hole in the braid, so I ripped back and went to bed. Everything’s more difficult after 11 pm, right?
Am going to give the circle hat away today, which will be fun. My son’s so enamored of his green hat with diamonds that he took it to bed with him the other night. There is no higher praise!
Still no camera, sorry grrlfriends.
Have fun with those mittens, even though I hope the weather will be too nice for them until next winter!
You love the mittens. I found them addicting!
I loved them too, even tho my birds looked like crud.
I’d make them again, but there’s another pair calling to me – the ones with tall sunflowers on them.
And eighty other projects
I gave my ‘bird in hand’ mittens to my sister, and she loved them more than I could have hoped for. They’re magic.
Those mittens are darling! I need to get the pattern soon, though, I agree with Cheryl that hopefully they won’t be needed until next fall!
I look forward to seeing them, when the camera issues are resolved. It’s a cute pattern, although one friend of mine in CO ended up with ridiculously huge thumbs.
I just bought that mitten pattern too. They are just too cool to pass up! Have fun knitting them.
I want to see the hat!
