Mitts in the raw, as it were
Is this is a good colour them missus? It’s more tealy in real life, crap lighting.
Pants. Big frilly ones. January 14, 2009
So the mitts are finished. Oh no they aren’t. Look at the difference my naff grip did to them…

Frogging time. Rubbish.
Right, finished the right… January 11, 2009
Right mitt is finished, my tension went loose at the top of it cos my grip was rubbish this morning so it’s a bit baggy, I might frog it a bit, haven’t decided yet. Anyway, I really like it.

You need hands… January 11, 2009
that work, never mind the Max Bygraves stuff. Anyway, I found a lovely free pattern via Ravelry for quick to knit fingerless mittens, which I hope will help keep my hands warm and stop them from hurting so much.
They are knitted in Aran weight on 4mm needles so the needles are easy to hold when your grip is bad. I’ve nearly finished one of them already, just a cable and the thumb bit to do and I only started yesterday.
Happy girl!

Finished socks! July 16, 2008
Here they are, in glorious technicolour. Phew – only frogged on the first one, second one worked fine till the Kitcheners stitch at the end – then I made a weeny mistake. It doesn’t really show but I know it is there. Grrrrrr. Bry still says I should have given up with one and sold it to the one-legged lady at the festival.
All done

Briallen and Mikey’s Bolero July 16, 2008
Here’s what I’ve been up to lately. Progress so far on Bri’s bolero. This is a good one for knitting in public, as you don’t need to concentrate too much.
- Bri and Mikey’s boleros
Anyway, I’m knitting Bri’s direct from the pattern and Mikey’s from my head as she is too big for the size range – hence the 2 at once approach. Seems to be working so far.
