Don't you love the name? Nothing describes the texture as well as bumpity! These were such a fun knit. It was a nice in between project after knitting Christmas gifts and before jumping back into knitting my sweater. I am not sure why, but the ultimate comfort knit to me is mittens....... A quick project with a little increasing and decreasing for interest.
The stitch is really a lot simpler then it looks. Two rows of each color are worked in a rib pattern, slipping the non working yarn color. Which makes it a lot easier to knot then a traditional color pattern because you are only working with one color at a time. Don't you think a tone on tone color scheme would be pretty?

I now have a list of people to knit mittens for as anyone who sees them wants a pair!
They are even Kerri approved!
She steels mittens because she know we will chase her, thankfully she is not interested in chewing them up.
Very cozy looking! Beautiful work.
ReplyDeleteThanks Sarah!
DeleteThose mittens are adorable. I wish we had cold Winter weather here in South Texas so I could wear some of those knit mittens. Simply beautiful. ^_^
ReplyDeleteThat is one thing I love about winter, one can wear lots of warm woolies! Even though this winter and last winter have been ususally warm, I am incouragable! I keep knitting and knitting......
DeleteI sure wish we lived closer! I'd ask you to teach me to knit. It's the one kind of needlework I never learned. I love these mittens. Thought they were vintage, at first! Great job!

No, they are not vintage. But they do look it, don't they?
DeleteOh my gawwwsh, Kerri looks so cute with the mitten! They look very cozy and very vintage!
