So I followed through on my plan to darn in those ends...
Of course, it's pretty tricky to photograph yourself wearing a PAIR of mitts...
I'm loving this pattern.
There's NO SHAPING whatsoever - but the shell stitch pattern stretches to accommodate the shape of the hand...
Then there's just a little peek-a-boo hole for the thumb to pop through...
I tried working them backwards, from the fingers down - so that I could add a little trim at the arm hole like this:
But it actually made the thumbhole feel more restrictive. Weird. But it does.
I made some long crazy mitts...
And some short ones:
Some black ones:
And some grey ones:
Thirteen pair so far!
Love these! Can't wait for your pattern!
ReplyDeletewhoa! I love the grungy looking ones the best, the lace makes them look rather vampish.

These are great, Sharon! I hate knitting with dpns and crocheting these looks easy and quick.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness I cannot wait for the pattern :)
ReplyDeleteYou have been busy, you just need some cooler weather to wear them all :)
ReplyDeleteMy, you really have been busy! Love them all, so funky looking. The trim on the ones worked from the fingers down would look lovely as a trip at the fingers i think.
