I love the stitch pattern in these mittens. I wish I knew how to transfer it to other patterns because the thumb placement in this pattern isn’t the most comfortable. I’ll keep working at the math and maybe someday I’ll figure it out.
I didn’t disappear permanently. I got busy. Busy knitting. Busy crocheting. Busy writing. Busy working. Busy, busy, busy. But happily busy.
To catch you up quickly.
I got a job, the first in years (that actually pays). I’m working as an administrative assistant at a local church 20 hours a week.
I’m writing my second book…30 chapters and 10 coloring pages in 6 months. Eek! (That’s an excited, yet terrified eek.) Here’s the link to my first book, Hello Beautiful!.
I knit the majority of this top on my way to and back from the Montrose Christian Writers Conference, in Montrose, PA. Once you get past where your divide for the sleeves, it is a quick knit. Yet the pattern down the middle and on the sides keeps it interesting and makes a cute finished project.
I knit it with Berocco Remix Light, a DK weight yarn. The Glory Rose is the second item I’ve knit with this yarn. It is incredibly soft, rustic looking and durable. Now I have a matching tee and cardigan.
