  • WIP Wednesday - Rainbow Mitts

    Firstly I want to apologise for the influx of posts on knitting and crochet that has suddenly plagued my blog. If you enjoy this sort of thing, great! If not, sorry--normal blog emptiness will resume next week. ;)

    This is WIP Wednesday, a follow-on from the FO Friday I once participated in. The object is to show off what you're currently working on, and here's my WIP:

    It is a pair of rainbow mittens, following the accidental girly mitts pattern by CraftyLis. They are being knit using King Cole Mirage yarn (shade 872) which was given to me by my parents for my last birthday. I started knitting on Sunday evening and they will be done by tonight I should hope! It looks complicated, but the pattern is actually really simple to do, and I'm really happy with the way they are looking so far.

    I know it's a little odd to be knitting gloves when there is blossom on the trees outside, but who cares?! I really liked the pattern, and I can't wait to have rainbows around my arms.

    • Those are super cute! And it doesn't matter that it's getting warmer. You'll just have something to wear next winter. :D

      Btw do you have ravelry account?

    • Beautiful...love the colors, at first glance thought you were making a ghan.

    • Those are awesome! I absolutely adore the colours and I have to admit I don't care what the season is... I'd be pretty excited about those, too!

    • Really great colors and the patter doesn't get lost in them. Nice looking project!

    • I love the colors! I'm not usually a huge rainbow fan but I love how the colors are a little toned down. It looks to be a perfect pattern for the yarn.

      Thanks for participating in WIPW!

    • That yarn is a beautiful match for that pattern. It's completely eye-catching.

    • Very nice mitts! I've done a feather and fan stole before and I love how deceptively simple it is, yet impressive looking. :)
