Minnessota mittens

My daughter Sofia has a school friend that was wearing funny gloves that were hidden inside a mitten. They looked cool so I said to her that I would knit her some. I didn't know that they were called minnessota mittens, that took a bit of searching to find out. Anyway, I am a good and experienced knitter but those mittens took me 5 weeks to complete! I did them with double pointed needles. At one point I had 8 needles going. What took the longest time was convincing myself to knit instead of procrastinating.

Well yesterday I went to Lorna's house, who designed the scarf kit for Blue house yarns. I needed help because I wanted to use kitchener stitch to finish them. I have never been able to master kitchener stitch. I have used different instructions with and without pictures and I just couldn't do it. Well thanks to Lorna now I can. I was so happy. Thank you so much Lorna. I don't think that there is anything I can teach you but I will be kind to others and show them.


Needless to say Sofia is wearing them today to school.Here are some pics. Can you see the beautiful grafting?- Sorry about the quality of the photos, my camera is very old and I'm not good at taking pictures.
