apples in the fall
If I can’t have you all the time, I won’t have none at all*
tulip mitts
ingredients:
recycled sweater wool (an arm in trade from my friend laurie)
two thrifted wools
cascade 220 wool
women’s small/medium
alpaca on the inside mitts
you have to make sure your rings don’t get caught on these ones! i think a smaller needle size is needed here, although i must say that i quite like them. i wanted to make mittens, but trusted my intuition and cut them short. thank goodness – there is zero of this yarn left – indeed, the thumbs are red :)
ingredients:
my hand dyed thrifted wool
banana republic recycled sweater alpaca
women’s medium
i purposefully made both of these mitts long for warmth. i like this style because if you need more freedom, you just fold the tops back.
*gillian welch lyrics
That is one of my favorite Gillian Welch songs — Look at Miss Ohio and Wrecking Ball are up there too. Johnny Cash sings those lines as well in his version of a song that is apparently a piece of americana itself: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cindy_(folk_song)
Yay! Mitts may be my favorite knitted accessory.
lovely! love the colors.
i LOVE the mitts. i love the way you do the little heart patterns. is that duplicate stitching? or intarsia? i don’t know anything about colour-knitting at the moment, stripes are as much as i can handle, but i’d love to learn… does your book go into that?
