I had started off using a pattern, that just didn’t work so I guess I’m designing my own. Really loving it too-glad I decided to frog after I was almost done.
This yarn is a dream-I am making these mitts for someone who claims that they can’t have acrylic because it makes their eyes itch-never heard of such a thing with acrylic-I get not liking it…but whatever…so I had to make a special trip to the yarn store-limited colors as always. I’m going to order this stuff online from now on and get better colors-love this yarn LOVE IT!

I made the mistake of following the directions for the other pattern (humanity) when it came to the thumbs-I hate them. I’m making a new pattern now, with a different cable stitch and my own thumb gusset pattern. This yarn is fantastic.

The cables and the ribbing give a nice tension on the hand-which was the intended purpose of these mitts for diane, I hope she likes them!
