This is Liz: Mitt disaster averted

Mitt disaster averted

Sun Jan 29, 03:51 AM

2 mittsI finished a pair of mitts that fits and that are a good colour and dont have a seam on them. First of all I have pics of the difference in size of the 2 koolaid dyed mitts. This is the 2 mitts that I dyed with koolaid. The one on the left is one of the new ones I just knit. It was knit flat and then sewed together. The one on the right is the original one I knit in the round that is way too small. It would fit a kid.

SeamThis is the inside of the larger mitt. See the seam there? It sits on the outside of the hand, along the pinkie finger. It is totally annoying! So that pair of mitts are going to Kosovo. Shirley's church has organized a drive (I guess) for people to knit/crochet/sew cold weather clothing for people in Kosovo. I did a couple hats, 2 scarves and now these mitts will go.

Red MittsYay! These are the mitts I finished tonight. They are 100% wool (Gjestal Naturgarn in #704 if you are interested) and I used mostly the same pattern as before. I knit the hand and the thumbs to fit instead of #of rows like the pattern said. I also kitchener stitched the tops in stead of pulling the end stitches together like a hat. I like them better this way.

Red mittsAnd see! They fit! And are warm! And red! I like them very much. I used only 1 skein of the yarn with some to spare so they are $6.99 mitts. Pretty good huh? My next thing is to make a hat, Knitty's Coronet, out of the same stuff. No scarf though. That would be way to much scratchy for me.

I am watching SNL now. The one with Dane Cook and James Blunt. How long has this Blunt bloke been around? Is it me or does he look a little possesed when he performs? His eyes look all weird. He is good live, he doesnt sound like crap. I like that. When someone sounds live like they do on their albums. Not processed. ALSO! Guess who is hosting next week? Steve Martin! I love Steve Martin! The new Pink Panther movie? If I was in the city I would see it on the opening night. I love Steve Martin and Kevin Kline? With outrageous French accents? Oh yah.
