Knitted Mitts- Getting Ready for Winter (!)

 I made mitts!!

My first pair of mitts!

I used the Tante Ehm pattern for Camp Out Fingerless Mitts that I found the pattern, FOR FREE, on Ravelry.

For my project, I used Freia, fine handpaints, refined yarn: 70% Merino, 30% silk, in Lichen (color).  It's an ombre yarn, in worsted weight (4 Medium).  I also used size 5 needles.  I increased the cuff stitch number from 10 to 18 sts., and the total length from 9.5 inches long to 10.5 inches long.

This is the right mitt. . . . 

Left mitt. . . . . 

. . . .and the left mitt, uncuffed.

I made the finger section longer than required so I could cover more of my fingers while outside.  I didn't do a perfect job, but it will do.  I find, in knitting, there are LOTS of ways to put things together.

So FUN!!  Knitting is a skill worth learning.
