Stripey Mittens

The mittens are complete, things I learned

Knitting two at a time is quicker ...but not if you decide you don't like them!

After I had finished both mittens I decided they were way too long and also a bit too big so I cut them, unravelled around 10cm and then grafted the two ends together. They aren't as neat as i'd like them to be as I got a bit sick of them and didn't really take my time finishing them as I know that I'll make another (better) pair at some point in the future. But they keep my hands warm and the yarn is really lovely.

The lace scarf for my grandma is coming along very slowly, I'm making myself do at least one pattern repeat a day as I need to get it done by April12th and I'm tiring of it a little...must. keep. going.

It's finished!

I have finished my first sleevless jumper. I like it loads more than I thought I would and it fits quite nicely, the neck line could be a little better and it could probably be a bit neater but for a first attempt I'm really pleased with it. I really enjoyed making it once I had changed the pattern so I'm definitely going to make some more. Due to a 15% off event at Libertys I also have a lot of yarn and pattern books to keep me going for a while, although I'm sure that won't stop me buying more.
