In spite of the warm weather I have been knitting. These are my new mittens for next Winter:
The brown and green pair on the left is closest to my grandmother's original pattern, but I wanted the thumbs to be warmer so I continued the pattern knitting all the way fro the thumb as well.
For a more modern look I started the two colored pattern from the wrist.
Then I did the same with grandmother's other pattern.
Finally I knitted a pair of Aino'S mittens in a slightly bigger size.
At the moment I have a pair of socks on my needle (yes, a pair, and yes, it's a long circular needle), but after that I think I'll look for a nice color combination for mittens again.
I hope this new setting and smaller photo size will make my blog more smart phone friendly.
