My first new project for Knit the Stash 2008 was a nice quick knit -
Wool: Araucania Nature Wool Chunky
Pattern: Super Mittens from Weekend knitting
Modifications: None yet, but I'm thinking about knitting a lining for these. While the yarn is nice and thick, these mitts are somewhat "airy". I think a nice lining would help - however, since I'm not buying any yarn, I have to think about what I have that I can use for the lining.
I'm also thinking about embroidering the back to give them more "visual interest".
Despite the modifications I would like to make, these mittens are, according to their pattern, DONE. Therefore I'm counting this as my first completed NEW project of Knit The Stash 2008.

I LOVEloveLOVE the colour of those mittens. Beautiful and yummy.
ReplyDeleteThose mittens are just SCREAMING out for big googly eyes. And some eyebrows. And possibly some fangs.
ReplyDeleteJust sayin'.
I agree with Canadian Sadie.
ReplyDeleteWhat about lining them with some cozy polar fleece? Or Microfleece. It wicks away moisture, so your hands won't get sweaty.
I agree with the polar fleece or microfleece suggestion as a liner. Love the colour.
ReplyDeleteLove this idea for embroidery on your mittens... http://www.flickr.com/photos/14424545@N08/2192650792/in/pool-embroideredstuff/
