At last some nice warm mittens all ready for winter. We had a bit of a gale the other day and it got me to thinking that I must really finish these lovely mittens. Since that day I have took them into University and back again every day without a single stitch being knitted. I have good intentions and then other work simply takes over, that and I don’t want to be knitting a complicated cable on the train. But at last they are ready and I do love a bit of cable work to admire.
They took nearly a month for me to knit, which when you think what else I am cramming into a day isn’t too bad.
I’d have liked glamorous photographs but this is what’s attainable today, you’ll have to look out for shots of them in my winter photographs.
But one thing is for certain, I love them and will most probably be making more cabled mittens in the future, they are just so cute.
I am deeply smitten.
And for those that are interested, this is Hinksey by Lily France, knitted in Fyberspates Scrumptious Aran (45% silk, 55% merino) in Moss on 4mm DPN.
