a day for mitts
November 26, 2007rainy.
one pair for a gentleman in the neighborhood
fleur de lis wallpaper mitts
ingredients:
new wools (donegal tweed and cascade 220)
embroidered with thrifted wool
men’s medium/large
watercolor mitts
i’m thinking nice picot edges everywhere next time i do this kind of mitt.
ingredients:
my hand dyed recycled sweater wools
new wool – cascade 220
women’s small/medium – so alas, no picture of them in action. my roommate and i both have larger sized hands.
i’ve also come to the conclusion that the mittens i thought fit me, don’t actually fit. okay, okay – i was being optimistic when i thought that to begin with ;) wore them once and they certainly don’t fit. back to the drawing board. on the other hand, i wasn’t really making them for anyone in particular when i started them, so them not fitting me is not unusual. head sizes? got them down. mitt sizes? still working on them.
hope you all have a good day!
Your mittens are just gorgeous. So very nice
I love the fleur de lis!
Beautiful greens, nicely mottled. I LOVE them! And the fleur de lys as well.
So beautiful! The fleur de lis! Amazing! :)
I love the green ones! I need to make some reading mitts for my FIL, he’s bedridden and feels cold, but he still loves to read. His 90th birthday is in a few weeks.
i agree, a picot would be wonderful edge on those mitts.
