Night of the living mitts

Posted November 14th, 2008 by Lisa

So, I made another pair of fingerless mitts and sat down to take a few pictures

I’ve been experimenting with different ideas for fingerless mitts, and I finally got them looking like I envisioned.

so i just went with it

I can knock out one mitt per night of TV, which means I may actually be able to make a nice little pile of them for Christmas gifts.

but a certain someone wouldn't get out of the shot

I just need to remember next time I want to take pictures of them…

and will have to get him back later

…to do it while Neil is at work.

This day in blog history...

Do you have a pattern you can share?

I made the same way I made these, but with the following changes:

  • I used a single strand of yarn throughout, instead of a double.
  • I started from the bottom instead of the top (i.e. at the wrist side instead of the finger side)
  • At row 31, I switched to a different color yarn

Hope that helps!

Those mitts look great! I also love this picture set; that’s exactly what my husband would do if he caught me taking pictures of myself too. =)

Oh my goodness…it has been said that after you have been married for some time that you start to look like your spouse. And you guys look like each other. I mean of course you look your gender but you look like you could be brother and sister. You guys are too funny.
