Bamboo Field Mitts - FO! Yay!
10 September 2010
I'm trying to knit more and also to knit with my own yarn. It's so easy for me to put it off because of all the spinning. But I miss knitting. So I've got three project bags that I'm trying to keep at the ready with pattern, needles, and yarn so that I can knit in the car on the weekends.
I decided to do the Bamboo Field Mitts after I saw that they were part of a KAL in a Ravelry group I'm in. The KAL was for July, but I finished in August. Oops.
But the important thing is that I finished, right? I'd dyed this wool up in my Honeycomb colorway but the green was a new batch of dye and it really didn't take well. Gotta double-strength that one! So I figured that was a great opportunity for me to spin myself some yarn.
I love the mitts. I used one size bigger needles because my hands are not small, and they fit perfectly. I'm ready for chilly days!
Next up is the Good Luck Cowl, I think. I'm using some lovely mixed BFL that I spun too overtwisted because I was trying something new. I'm super excited about it, but I've already frogged it three times - I keep messing up! But I'm trying again because it's so pretty. I think this is a nobody's-around-but-me pattern.
What about you? Knitting or crafting something wonderful for fall? Do tell!
These are beautiful! Love that colorway!

beautiful maya!
and the yarn turned out perfectly, even if it's not the color you originally intended.
