I didn't quite find the time to get here yesterday after a slow, but full and lovely weekend. I hope all you Mama's out there enjoyed the same. Today my Miss Zahra was down with a bug, sleeping for most of the day... which makes for more time to catch up on a few things. I started on some fingerless mitts from Erika Knight's Simple Knitting a couple of weeks ago. The right hand mitt has been waiting for its mate so this morning I curled up next to my girl on the couch to finish them off. I love looking at the names that different colourways are given for paints, wool and fabric. I often wonder if there's someone somewhere whose job it is just finding inspiring names for all those lovely shades of colour out there. This beautiful wool from Jo Sharp's Silkroad DK Tweed line is called beanshoot. A soft green flecked with cornflower blue and mustard yellow.
I changed the pattern just a little, stopping short at the thumb gusset, and in my excitement to get these cosy mitts on these hands I accidentally knit two right handers.
I briefly, very briefly thought about frogging it... but in the end it is just as cosy.
Happy Knitting
