I´m not sure what will become of them, but time will tell.
But here is some stuff that is not so secret. A new pair of mittens made with yarn remnants.
When it comes to colour I always find the more the merrier.
I have loved knitting these mittens. What I don´t love quite as much is weaving in all the ends.
This mitten is nowhere near being finished. I haven´t even started on the next one.
And needless to say both mittens still need thumbs.
And you don´t need to have a lot of yarn left, just a couple of yards/meters.
I made these mittens as part of a project for the group Stick-Salongen that I belong to. There are eleven of us and we meet once a month to knit and talk. Yes, the Nerd Level* of our conversations is pretty high and would probably bore others to tears. But some of the things we knit are quite interesting.
(*Nerd Level is a way of quantifying nerdiness, measured in social outcast tiers)
Last Christmas I (very nobly) gave my Karin Kurbits mittens away, so I´m now working on a new pair.
So now the pile of mittens that need thumbs is now growing rapidly next to me in the sofa. For next Christmas I´m going to ask Santa for a thumb-knitting machine.
That is a shocking number of ends to weave in! But the mittens will be so spectacular! When in the right mood, and with a good movie or audiobook, I find weaving in ends sort of soothing. The right mood doesn't come all that often, however.
SvaraRaderaI love your beautiful colorful mittens. But where I live, in Israel, it never gets cold enough for mittens (thank G-d, since I belive that snow is a spectator sport). What I am thinking through - they would make wonderful socks! The stone floors here are cold! What do you think? Is mitten to sock conversion possible?
SvaraRaderaSuch beautiful mittens!!! I especially like the leftover pair, though I am a bit daunted by the number of threads you have to sew in ;)
SvaraRaderaLove those mittens. That many ends are intimidating - but it's something I could do while sitting and talking with friends and family, so it just might be worth it. But I really should make the Karin Kurbits since I bought the pattern last year.
SvaraRaderaAlldeles underbara färger! Fint! :D
SvaraRaderaApropå vantarna, går de lika bra att sticka med rundstickor? Strumpstickor och jag går inte ihop....
SvaraRaderaUrsnygga vantar! Som vanligt ;-)
SvaraRaderaJag skulle behöva komma i kontakt med dig Johanne ang ett mönster - Se ullfrojd.blogspot.com för kontaktuppgifter.
SvaraRaderaMVH Inger
Vilka underbara vantar, trots alla trådarna:)Jättefina!
SvaraRaderaVantarna är jättehärliga! Blir så sugen på att sticka något liknande. Fästa trådar tror jag är karaktärsdanande. Hälsningar Sara
SvaraRaderaFantastiskt vackra vantar!
