Notes

These mitts will be made to go with my Barndom (which I’ve still to start). I think those two patters fit perfectly well and so I chose the same colors.
I’m just waiting für the right double pointed needles. :)

09/28/2012:
Needles arrived. Special thanks to Kosima (coutry-creativ) for being soooo fast. :) I’ve chosen a set of ravishingly beautiful ebony double pointed needles size 5mm. I couldn’t resist to directly cast on the mitts. This is definitely a fast knit! Could be done in a day, but I’ve still the Bolting on my needles, too. :D

09/30/2012:
Back to the mitts. Now the first one is done. :) And I’ve to admit: tis is an addictive knit. It’s a pity that I’ll not be able to knit during the next days.

10/02/2012:
CO second mitt. To much work today, otherwise it would be finished by now. More that half of the ‘body’ done.

10/02/2012:
And then I couldn’t stay away and had to finish the second mitt. I knitted until 2:10 am. yawn Weaved all ends in and already washed the mitts. now they’re nearly dry and I’m going to wear them when I go to the Wupperstrick-Treff. Maybe I’ll be able to make a good pic while there.
