as promised, handspun mittens. a sample for the knit and crochet festival.
these took just over 2 oz of yarn.
from this skein – paris sidewalk
which just hung around too long, and therefore got knit by me.
US wool, women’s medium.
continuing with my needle issues, i showed up at knitting on tuesday and found that i had three size 9 dpns, and one size 10.5… i sure wasn’t going home for the other size nine.
next up: a sample scarf. i also want to do a sample neckscarf (the one from my book maybe?) and maybe some fingerless mitts. handspun is too much fun to knit with.

Yum….
I like the fun random stripes. It’s a shame I don’t have much use for mittens where I live.
How’d you know I’m going through a mitten phase??? I know just the yarn I’m goign to use for my mittens. I love how your has sunny bright spots to remind us that summer’s coming up….eventually.
whoo nelly! I love love love those colors!!
Gosh these are pretty! The colors remind me of forsythia– bright yellow among bare branches.
Those are soooooooo gorgeous!
Those are such fabulous mittens! I love the colors.
These are so pretty! I love the stripes. They are so warm and inviting! I’m knitting a pair of mittens with handspun right now. It really is a whole different animal from commercial yarn.
Have you considered selling your hand dyed roving in your shop? I’m just saying I’d probably be a customer. :)
Those are so lovely. They look really warm too!
