My energy has been a little focused in other directions the last few weeks..
I decided I would learn to knit myself some fingerless mittens for the coming cooler months..
I found the most beautiful yarn, it is made from silk, merino wool and Alpaca..
here is the pattern I used ..so easy , truly ...
I really like the feel of using bamboo needles.
These mitts are so quick to knit up , they would make great Christmas gifts..
and what a lovely sense of satisfaction to know that you knit them yourself!
Great for all of you 'coy wannabe knitters' out there.. c'mon ..you know who you are!!
Have a wonderful joyful Thanksgiving' holiday for all of those in the USA..have lots of fun spending time with the people that you love :)
Hugs , Helen xxxxxxx

The colours in the yarn is so beautiful! Love the pics :)
ReplyDeleteYour mittens are LOVELY! No other word for those soft soft colours :) I'd love a pair... Orange & blue, of course ;) But I'm settling for looking at yours. Slowly coming to terms with the fact that there aren't, and won't be, enough hours in the day to do everything I'd love to get to. Very slowly though - and not always gracefully ;)
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful Thanksgiving, you :)
