Last week was our
official family knitting week! Inspired by
Knitting Daily's thrum theme, we chose these mittens as part of the program. We bravely made the thrums (despite warnings that this can act as a gateway drug to spinning, which again can lead to a farmhouse filled with sheep, goats, and alpacas) out of roving that I have also used for my
felted hat , so they go very well together:
I used
Yarn Forward's pattern, with quite a lot of lazy modifications instead of obtaining gauge with my random stash Harrisville Orchid Yarn:
- entire mitten knitted on 4 mm needles, so ribbing was 32 stitches and mitten 40 stitches
- 8 stitches saved for thumb
- when mitten was long enough decreased 4 stitches per round until 4 were left
- 17 stitches for thumb

Hej!
Jeg synes, jeg kan genkende de luffer! - Vi var vist sammen til strik-in i lørdags. Jeg er kommet videre med mit Irish Diamond Shawl og mangler nu "kun" 26 pinde.
mvh Mette
