Finally! Pictures!

This the first mitt of the week.  I chose to use verdant heather and turmeric as my color choices for this mitt. 

The pattern is my Charity Selbu knit mitt.  I revamped the palm of htis pattern.  The back of the hand is still a Selbu rose.  It is very striking. 

I used a k1, p1 ribbing for 1 inch on the cuff and then proceeded to make the cuff markings with the snowflake.  Always a favorite motif for me.  Very simple and yet very elegant. 

The thumb is just plain old stockinette since I wanted to show off more of the background color this time around.  Usually, I knit the palm pattern onto the thumb. 

This was knit on US 2 Addi turbo needles. 

Only 98 more skeins to go. 

Breaking out the Needles and the Yarn

I have been working on a fingerless mitt for my festival but, I am going to start knitting some charity knit mitts for teenage girls in Alabama who will not have a Christmas present if 200 mitts do not make their way down there.  The girls are aged 13 to 18 and have need of fingerless mitts.  The mitts can be in any yarn you have and it is one of those special gifts that will make you feel all wonderful inside.  Everyone deserves a Christmas present. 

I was designing yesterday and I was working on the thumb of my mitt.  I just have a few more inches on the thumb and then I can bind off and start the second one. 

When I find my camera, I will take pictures and share my pretties.  I am using my 100 skeins of yarn for these projects.  My Christmas gift is going to give to others who need it.  I think that is pretty special.
