Lyme Mittens

by Keri the Sheep

I’m making mittens for my next Stitching for Lyme project. Scarves take too long, and take too much yarn. So I thought I’d spread out all the green yarn I got from Mary by using it along with the other yarn I got from Ranae. That way I can knit for as long as possible without having to pay and get reimbursed, or having to worry about tax write-offs.

So the basic idea for these mittens comes fron Knitty Gritty with Vicky Howell. Although I’m using different yarn, needles, and stitch pattern for the cuffs… But yeah, the thumb will probably be the same. Oh, and Tick will be on there too, and Vicky’s didn’t have that…

As it so happens, the socks I’m making use the same method for making the heels.

I’ll be posting the entire pattern as soon as I finish the first one.

    Mittens sound like a great Idea. You can even put the tick on the back of the hand of each mitten. Too bad you can’t do fingerless gloves also that would be cool. I finally watched Memoirs of a Geisha I see why it is one of your favorite movies. Hope you are getting things in order. Keep knitting. Laters.

About Knitting Passion

Is knitting really a passion? On THIS blog it is - for all who come here. Blog entries will be made up of patterns, photos of in-progress or completed work - off the wall discussions about whatever tickles the author's fancy (Survivor Knitting anyone?). This can be as much YOUR blog as it is the current author's. Questions will be entertained and answers sought diligently. Comments are always welcome - and information ALWAYS appreciated. Will there be stories and pictures of the stash of yarn or the duplicated knitting needles? Will there be more off the wall ideas for knitting? Will there be original patterns or freebies cited? Only the dark of night and the author's amount of caffeine or sleep can determine that.

Ready? ONE - TWO - GET SET - KNIT!
