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!

Mosaic Knitting...

Yesterday decided to knit up a pair of mitts using some extra Rowan Finest yarn I had...love this yarn for warmth and softness. Wanted to try doing up a pair of mosaic brick patter...very simple for a first effort....loved the results...no strands of yarn getting tangled up and not more floats to contend with. I hate putting on a pair of mitts or socks with floats that could get pulled easily. These worked out so well....I will do up another project with another simple pattern and see how that goes. 

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.
