Striped Toddler Mitten

Toddler mittens finally finished. I used Lynn's 30 peg fine gauge loom and her basic mitten pattern along with the 10 peg fine gauge thumb buddy to make Noah a pair of mittens. I used Lion Brand's Magic Stripes sock yarn.

To the left, I added a tag board for anyone wanting to chat or leave me a message. Keep on looming!! Posted by Picasa

Did anyone say Mittens?

I figured I better post since it's been awhile. The Fair Isle Mitten does have a mate see...I finally got of my b*** and took a picture. While I was doing that I manage to take pictures of the convertible mitten that I am making with the thumb attached. And while I'm on the subject of mitten's, I am making my son, who is 2, a pair of mittens on the 30 peg fine gauge round loom I received from Markman Farm. I'll post them when I get them finished, which should be in a couple of days. At that time I will post the mini stockings I made for the troops also.

I am also working on a dishcloth I charted but ran into some problems as I have a fine gauge dishcloth rake and worsted weight cotton yarn....yarn too big. I'm going to try and use Bernat's Cool Crochet yarn to see if that makes a difference. Will try and post on the result.

Finished mitten

Here is a mitten I finished (other one is done too and will post the pair) for September's KAL for Markman Looms Yahoo Group. I used Lynn Markman's Basic Mitten pattern, btw, is simple to follow and modified it a little to fit my hand. I also used a fair isle pattern from the book "1000 Great Knitting Motifs". My daughter has now claimed them so I am off to create a pattern for a pair of convertible mittens. I have the pattern drawn out on paper and have been working on them, but I am not liking the way the ribbing is coming out for the cuff. The ladders in between are just too wide. Be on the lookout in the next coming weeks for them under free patterns. Posted by Picasa
