mitts

There are some great mitts being knit.

Stephanie’s are done and fantastic.

Jen knit some nice ones.

Carol has finished two pair. I’ve seen them in person, they’re lovely. Mary’s getting a lot of Koigu. Lucky girl!

Suzette has finished one and it looks like it’ll be neat on a hand.

Anyone else have anything to show?

I have a cute picture of Clark

I’ve done a little bit on my purple mitts, but I’ve ripped a little back, and I think I’m going to rip the rest of the gusset and start it over.

I hate writing patterns. I don’t hate making things up and having to rip and redo to get it right. I hate writing the pattern. But I do, because I’ll probably want to knit it again someday, or something similar, and I’d feel like an idiot making all the same mistakes over again. Plus, I know many of you want it.

But I hate writing patterns.

    Do you have a time frame in mind for these mitts? She’ll have a continuing need, correct? I’d like to try a pair but I’m not sure how quickly it will be done.

    Clark is adorable! I haven’t seen him in ages (we’ve met a few times at Eastside Stitchers) and suddenly he has grown up. He looks a lot like the photos of your girls I have seen. Too cute!

    Oh, he looks so cute!

    I love the picture of Clark. He’s SOOOO cute!!!! There little men are hams for the camera aren’t they? Everyone’s mitts are looking great! You’ll have to take a pic of all of them together so we can see how many she’s getting. It’ll be great!!!

    Great photo!
    I have my mitts nearly done. Eventually I’ll need you to send me your mailing address…

    I think I need to frog mine (sob) and start again. They’re a bit loose on the wrist area, although they’d probably fit just fine on her hand. Maybe I’ll keep knitting until I reach the thumb and see.

    Mine are finished! I just need to get around to snapping some good photos and blogging them…

    you may hate writing patterns, but I’m sure it will turn out well. You’re too good a knitter. You’ve also been tagged for a meme. See my blog for the rules!

    I started a pair of fingerless mitts last night – I hope to finish them this weekendish. 🙂 I hope they will fit. I am not 100% sure about how I will adjust it to be shorter for the pinky but I’ll manage somehow! I also remembered I have one Knuck already completed somewhere in my stash; I might get around to finishing the second one if I can find those too.

    OK – what are your thoughts on whether fingerless mitts or fingerless gloves are a better way to go? The pair I’m working on are intended to be fingerless mitts but now I’m thinking that still leaves her fingers open to a fair bit of chill, so maybe fingerless gloves will be more useful?
