Twisted Cable Cuffed Mitts

Haven't written in my blog for a while now but it was a long and busy summer with custom socks to do and lots of golfing and family issues....but back to work on my Etsy shop and trying to finish up some custom requests for the holidays. Can't believe that this year is almost over and I look back and think where has the year gone!!!!!!! Still have so much to do and so little time.

These were knitted basically to add to my Etsy shop as I had no mitts and had to get some in for the cooler days ahead. Love these and was a great opportunity to work the pattern to make sure it was easy to follow an.....the pattern was! On to a pair of red socks for the holidays and another custom order then maybe I can finally get to writing down the pattern for the slip stitch socks I did earlier. Yikes!

Criss Cross Mitts, Intarsia Knitting

I had wanted to do this combination of the Criss Cross Mitts and have posted them on Etsy. I also posted the view of the inside out to show how really nice the inside is...with no strands on the inside. This is perfect for two color combinations and love the look. May have to put this down on paper if I get enough requests.

The Cuffed Cable Twist Mitts

And today posted a pair of the Cable Cuffed Mitts...this time in a beautiful Sapphire Blue. Really a wonderful pattern that seems to be very popular. I sometimes think that I could knit these alot more as they don't take that much time. I am currently doing a pair of yellow mitts. Got to get more in the Etsy shop so that I'll have alot for the winter months. Wow, do I hate the summers we have in the north east. Wish the summers were longer.

Criss Cross Mitts Custom Order

A couple of days ago I finished another pair of these Criss Cross Mitts. Navy and Tan combination for a woman on the West Coast. She has ordered another pair. I do think I can put this on paper except for the tricky part of the pattern where the gusset for the thumb and the pattern meet. I think on my next knit of these I'll really do a write up and figure out a way that would make it simple to do the pattern. As you know this is a pattern I used on my criss cross socks a while back and it is done in the intarsia method so many strands of yarns are flying. Let's hope I will post a pattern by end of month and see how that goes.

Criss Cross Mitts Update

Last week I received a really nice compliment on the criss cross mitts that I sold to a woman in Washington...she liked them so much that I received an order for 2 more pairs. Think this might be a candidate for a pattern. So I am off knitting as fast as I can with sticks and string! Yahoo!

Criss Cross Fingerless Mitts

Took the Criss Cross sock pattern and used it to knit up some cuffed fingerless mitts! Gave me a reason to try the pattern again and do a bit of intarsia knitting.

What fun this was and I love having cuffs on mitts. Ideal for any activity that requires you to use your fingers but still too chilly to keep those fingers exposed to the elements. 

Great for your everyday walks, jogging, or just to keep your hands and fingers warm. I liked the idea of exposing your fingers for those quick tasks and being able to cover the fingers just as fast to keep your fingers warm. 

And an added bonus…the thumb is also cuffed for you to keep your thumb toasty too. Don’t want to cuff them…just scrunch them…perfect look and fun. 

Great on the computer when the office gets a bit chilly.

Cuffed Fingerless Mitts at a Wedding!!!!!

This was great!!!!! Sold my mitts to a young lady so that she could wear them at her wedding. It was held in a chilly New England state and she sent me pictures of her wearing them...They worked out perfectly for the ceremony and I was thrilled to see these pictures. Good luck and best wishes to her and her husband!

So nice to see my pattern actually used and "Little Women" did just that. View on Ravelry this was the result of the knitting and the comment..."A great pattern, really fun to knit. It has character all it's own. I'll have to knit again several tried to walk away with this pair......" I just love it.

Cuffed Twisted Cable Fingerless Mitts

Yesterday I worked on the pattern for the Cuffed Fingerless Mitts that I have knitted alot. I have sold a few pairs and think I know the pattern by heart. I posted the pattern on Ravelry and sold 3 patterns and alot of queries. I just hope that what I wrote down was correct. I did knit up a pair using the pattern I wrote and it seemed to be clear. Hope I don't get any complaints...hate that.
