Scottish Fleet Mittens – Page 48 of the book - finished weight 78 grams.
Alrighty we are back on track. My 31st project in my quest to knit all the patterns in the book was a complete joy to knit! I used one of my favorite yarns Malabrigo Sock in a lovely orange green colorway (23 323) . This yarn is so soft and cozy I absolutely love to knit with it. I am reluctant to use it for socks as there is no nylon in the yarn and I worry they wouldn’t be durable.
The pattern is written perfectly and was easy to follow. I love the pattern on the top of the mittens. It would probably be a good idea to select a yarn that isn’t too busy for this pattern. Some of those wild eye-catching yarns might mask this cute little pattern.
Knitting mittens out of sock yarn is something I don’t do much of. But after this project I think I will do more in the future. The resulting product is a lightweight fabric that is tightly woven – perfect for keeping cold breezes out but not as bulky as regular mittens.
And do you know what’s hiding under that mitten in the snow? Well it is my new “hand”. I’ve had such fun using my glass head for modeling headwear I decided to order me up a hand. That Amazon has everything, including body parts! Unfortunately I should have read the fine print as it is kind of small, but it does the trick. We are having loads of fun with, posing it in different positions and giving it to people when they say “Can you lend me a hand?”
Well BBR’s – that it for the latest from One Skein Wonderwoman. There are more projects on their way soon!
Knit on!
