Pattern: Striped mittens from Favorite Mittens
Started: Jan 22nd,
Finishd:Jan 31st
Needles: 3.75mm
Yarn: Brown Sheep Lambs Pride Worsted, black Jamieson & Smith Shetland aran, orange.
(the orange is really orange, and the mittens are the same size, photos lie!)
Both yarns are from matured stash, such a great way of using up oddments of stash!
Love this pattern. The 1x1 striped pattern means that these mittens are super warm.
These re the second pair of mttens for 11mittinsfor2011. I've already dipped into the dk/aran stash box and found yarn for the next TWO pairs of mittens, which will be from the Cascade 220 60 quick knits book. Can't wait to start them! I'm trying NOT to cast on everything all at once (a great danger when I start sorting out patterns and yarns at the beginning of every month!)I will wait until I have the fingerless mitts off the needles before casting on.
the page was opening and scrolling down the first ic, my immediate reaction was '' go to it Dawn, one more push and it will roll away''!!!!!

You are showing such restraint. !!!! Im pretty monagomous in my knittng, I think it helps me finishing for sure> Mittens are really different looking.
