More About Mittnz
It's time to be heading into high gear, all you Mittnz Challengers!
Someone (please forgive my faulty memory) suggested a particular Mittn pattern from the Vouge Knitting On the Go series, a felted version, if you will (p. 65, if you own the book).
Never to blindly follow a pattern (well, hardly ever. . . ), I modified that puppy. (Pretend to be shocked, please! )
Instead of 2 strands of light sport weight, I used one strand of worsted weight. Instead of size 11 dpns, I used 10.5s. I am hoping that, once felted, I will have Mittnz fit for a kid (as opposed to fitting an adult).
The yarn is some Plymouth stuff that's been marinating in the stash for a while. I am hoping to make a hat to match. We shall see.
No swatch. Pray it felts!
