more mittens in august

this is the pattern for the double knit mittens i swatched last week. right now the pattern is prettier than the mitten.

i'm making the type of thumb where stitches are picked up from waste yarn. so, there's no gusset, but there is some shaping. Meg, my the camp director's wife, is entering something in a country fair and i'm thinking about entering this or my knit vegetables.


no pictures yet, but i'm swatching the red silky yarn from the last entry. i'm also working on a pair of cabled purple/red fingerless mitts similar to the blue/green ribbed ones.
