Friday, January 05, 2007 After several years of knitting only square items, I have finally broken out of my comfort zone and started a pair of mittens. The first one is finished and the second one might be done by the time it snows. I am so pleased.

By  Pixie, at 6/1/07 7:55 PM What reference did you use to learn how to knit on double-pointed needles? I so want to try it, but can't seem to find any instructions. I too wish to venture out my "scarves only" rut. The first mitt looks great - love the colour! By  Jennifer, at 6/1/07 8:55 PM I hated working with double pointed needles, so I learned the Magic Loop method. Just Google Magic Loop to learn. And that is a very nice mitt! My first one was absolute junk. By  Deodand, at 7/1/07 12:33 AM They look perfect! Well done! :) By  lucky olive, at 7/1/07 9:34 AM Wow! You should be pleased. That is one sassy mitten. Way to break out! By  Anonymous, at 7/1/07 9:49 AM Good Work! By  Anonymous, at 7/1/07 1:40 PM Crafty By  Amber, at 7/1/07 5:32 PM I broke out and learned mittens last year - I was ridiculously proud of myself! Look at this thumb! And yesterday, I started a SOCK class. Love your mitten - it's gorgeous! By  kmo, at 8/1/07 9:27 AM awesome mittens so cute! i'm making a pair using thick/thin yarn and it might have too many gaps. can't figure out the directions for finishing the thumb though, so i'm in awe of yours :) oh, and to a commenter, knittinghelp.com is awesome for figuring out knitting techniques. especially double pointed needles. By  erika, at 8/1/07 1:02 PM Wow, looks professional to me. Good job. Someday I will try to learn to knit. By  Anonymous, at 10/1/07 5:03 PM Great job! I love to knit...but shy away from projects that require double pointed needles. I love the color! I need to look up the Magic Loop technique to see how it goes.
