Notes

for DSIL, Peacock Mittens, but convertible ones.
no pattern, motifs from XVII-XIXc Transylvanian Embroidery Patterns - Folder 1.
Twined Knitting and intarsia in-the-round

cuffs; washable sock yarn, co 64 sts?
make cuff braid over more sts, (shrinks more than the twined knitting)

hand; Sisu held double.
work over 60 sts
touch of Fair Isle on right glove

thumb;
moved over, 2 sts onto palm side
inc 1 st to 23 sts
co 6 sts where thumb separates

Dec 09 - knitting done on first mitten, need to redo ribbing at opening, pulls in too much distorting mitten’s shape.

Dec 13; flip-top caps done,
re-doing the too-tight flip-top thumb.

will need to duplicate st flower centers, peacock eye, feather centers, and some design alterations

Dec 15; knitting finished, wove in ends, most of the duplicate stitching done, threw them in the washer/dryer to shrink/felt them a bit.
