Knitting: autumnal mitts.


For a long time now, I'd been planning on making these mitts this fall. Then I found a skein of orange Madelinetosh tosh dk at the yarn shop a couple of months ago (the colorway is called citrus) and I knew it would fit perfectly with the pattern. It is a bit brighter than I would normally choose, but it's really gorgeous in person and has a lot of nice variation in the color.

{I organized my drawer of handknits the other day and noticed that almost all of my most-worn accessories, cowls and mitts and such, are made from Madelinetosh yarn. Their colors are just so perfect.}

I love how these turned out...this is one of those patterns that looks much more difficult than it is. :) My only regret is that I didn't add an extra repeat or two at the wrists. I thought they were plenty long enough, and they are, except it seems that my coat sleeves are even shorter than I remember them being last winter. (Though I'm sure my arms aren't still growing, ha!)

  2. How cute are those!? I saw a set of gloves, hat, scarf I liked at Target and am hoping to snatch it because I do need a matching outerwear set of accessories - plus they looked cozy! ;)
