Distracted

I was doing so well...

I'm still working on these - have been distracted by travel, work, and other knitting project. Shame on me! Think these are number nine, though, so I think the end is in sight!

Stripes all the way

Here's my fiftth pair of mittens, stripes again. It's from the same book as the earlier pair (Myssystä sukkiin), just a different variation of that pattern. I changed it by adding increases for the thumb, there were none in the original pattern. I used Novita 7 veljestä and the needles were 3 and 3½ mm.

Pair No 4, and the fifth is on the way!

I finished my fourth pair of mittens last weekend. The pattern is from a book "Myssystä sukkiin", the yarn is Gjestal Nagano and Novita Nalle, and the needles I used were 2½ and 3 mm. The pattern was really addictive, and I could use the technique I learned last year in a course about colored knitting. Now I'm knitting another pair, the pattern is a variation of this one, and equally addictive!

Riihivilla Blooms

I started these mittens yesterday, using a pattern and yarn from Riihivilla, purchased in Helsinki's Market Square last December and found on Ravlery! I had to do the cuff twice, since it was too big with the recommended 3.5mm needles, but it's just perfect with the 3mm ones. I tweaked the pattern just a bit because I only have four colors, but I'm happy with the results so far!

It's Been a While!

I didn't do much knitting over the summer, just a couple of pairs of socks, but I finally got back to these mittens (started in April) and it didn't take much time to finish them off. Improvised the cabled pattern, Novita Nalle yarn, 3mm needles.

Pair No 3

I made these basic mittens for my nephew, either for his birthday (in October) or for Christmas. The yarn is Drops Big Fabel, needles are 3½ mm.

More knots

I made another pair of knot mittens, this time from thinner yarn. They look a lot prettier than the first pair. The purple yarn is Gjestal Nagano and the knots are 7 veljestä. They will probably end up as a Christmas gift for someone who has slightly smaller hands than I.
