So, in an attempt to bring more craft to my life and finish all of those projects I start and never have the time to finish, I have decided to join the craft blogosphere. I am hoping that writing about what I am making, and sharing my ideas, will help bring me back into the craft zone.
Which brings me to my current project - a pair of fingerless mitts I am making for a friend's birthday. They're a k3, p2 rib on the palm side and 'fake' cable pattern on the other side. I still need to finish the thumb gusset on the right one and have pretty much the whole of the left one still to do.
I don't know what it is about knitting on double pointed needles, but I find it so relaxing. I just wish I had chosen a more delicate yarn for these mitts - rather than just nicking 'any ball of purple that's going spare' off my mum. This Debbie Bliss DK 100% wool is lovely and will be very warm but I think the prettiness of the pattern is lost in the yarn. Not to worry though, I have some vintage ribbon in a purple polka dot that I'm thinking of threading through the cables. That will pretty them up!
These are CUTE! Thanks for the comment and link back. Looking forward to seeing more of your wares.
