Knit Picks was blowing all of their sport weight self striping sock yarns out the door so I added two balls of Kingpin to my last order. I had never used the sport weight before so I began by swatching in the round, which resulted in a tiny little cuff. I put it on my wrist to see what it would look like around my leg and knew instantly that I needed to make mittens instead of socks! I love this colourway, it's so me, and I know these mittens will go with everything I own!
What are you working on?
...oh and p.s. ignore the bottom half of my Classic Raglan Pullover, that's a story for another day :)
you know i love them ;) xo
ReplyDeleteBecca I can't believe we posted about our mitts on the same day :) Great minds think alike!!!
DeleteThey are awesome! I love the colours! ^.^
ReplyDeleteThe mitts are fantastic. I love the colors too. Also, I didn't notice the sweater until you pointed it out, because I was too busy admiring the polka dots on your pants. :-D
ReplyDeleteThose are adorable, Jane!!
ReplyDeletethese are AWESOME - love the colors! what a fun project.
ReplyDeleteGreat colors!!
ReplyDeleteCute mittens! I'm working on the Triad shawl by Jill Draper and using her awesome Mohonk yarn. Also trying to finish my Churchmouse Poncho. Are you still planning on going to Vogue Live here in Seattle? I will bring my Island book for you to sign!
ReplyDeleteI will be there with bells on! I wouldn't miss it for anything!
Deletegorgeous mitts! and old navy jeans? ;) i think i have the same pair, hehe
ReplyDeleteHeehee, hooray for Old Navy polka dot jeans :)
DeleteNice mix of colors !
ReplyDeleteYour Grace cardi is on my needles ;)
Love the mittens!
ReplyDeleteMy sweater did the same thing. I found it short the first go around so I ripped it back and made it longer, three times because I was getting that exact same line. What's up with that? It blocked out, thank goodness!
Ha ha ha, you've revealed my secret :) I know it will block out no problem I just love wearing the sweater so much I haven't bothered to block it, shame on me, lol.
Deletecurrently working on some socks with knit picks fingering kettle dyed in this gorgeous purple for my mom's birthday. i was wondering what was up with the sweater but i wasn't going to ask. i was going to pretend it was a glitch in the photo.
ReplyDeleteWhat mitten pattern did you use or did you make it up? I love them, ordered the yarn today
ReplyDeleteI wrote my own pattern for them, I'm debating whether I should add a fingering version to the pattern before releasing it...
Deletethose mittens are so fun, and what is more perfect than a simple striped mitt?!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous mittens. I'm normally not that much into self striping yarn but this looks nice :)
ReplyDeleteI just saw these being tested in Free Pattern Testers on Ravelry. I'm a Big Bad Mod there, but I'm happy to have found your blog. :) Happy testing!
ReplyDeleteThanks for checking out my blog Dayana! I'm excited to finally test these!
