These mitten are based on a technique described in Robin Hansen’s Favorite Mittens. They’re similar to thrummed mittens, but you hold a length of roving in your left hand and weave it in while knitting -- throwing in the American/English way -- with your right hand. It’s similar to 2 color, stranded knitting, except you don’t actually knit with the roving, just weave in the back as you go along. I’ll post some better pictures soon!

If you want to know how to prepare the fiber/roving before you knit with it, check out this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rCPIczeciKk

(You only need to split apart the wool once.)

Hold the fiber in your left hand, just as she holds her yarn. You might just want to grab it instead of holding it over your finger.

You may do whatever you would like with this pattern. Please enjoy!
