I have finished Cristina's mittens. My daughter is thrilled with them. I am pleased that they only took me a week, yay. I will do the next pair on 3-4 plky as I think it will be better and I might try thrumbing. I didn't know what this was until a couple of weeks ago. Thanks Lorna for the suggestion. Basically it's adding wool sliver every few stiches so that it is lined in sliver and very warm an insulating. there is a pattern for thrumbed mittens in Knitting new mittens and gloves bny Robin Melanson.
I can feel a real accessories phase coming on.
Reading Mason Dixon's latest book I realized that actually I don't have many handknits that are actually mine. I will have to sort this out soon. Are you in the same position. Do you find that you make a lot for other but forget a little about yoursel?
