Sea Mineral Mittens


This is a free pattern available here . I used Knit Picks palette fingering yarn but changed the colors specified slightly, and am not totally happy with my new colorway. Live and learn I guess. My gauge is about 10 stitches per inch and the mittens are very nice and warm and feel good. I love the scallop edge.

Fanning the Flames Mitten


Handpainted wool yarn from Joslyn's Fiberfarm. It was intended for socks, but it pooled in an unpleasing manner. This technique employs modular knitting and is very cool. See the socks in a previous post done in the same way.
