Gnome mittens done just in time for…uh…winter…well not so much. It’s still kinda (alot warm), but they’re done anyway.
I followed the pattern and even used the yarn and colors called for. I figure SpillyJane’s got it all worked out, so why mess with that. I still have enough yarn to make about two more pairs of these mittens. Don’t all run for the exits at once. I really like these cute gnomes, and if I do make another pair (for me too) I’d make more ribbing and omit a set of gnomes. That way they’d be really tight for those super cold days waiting for the hotel shuttle in Detroit/Chicago/Buffalo in January. But as they are, they fit well and are very warm. I hope blocking will make the gnomes look less, well, lumpy.
Project evaluation: Success and good fair isle practice.
you can make mine with gussets and the thumbs off to the side. :)
How utterly adorable!
So awesome. I hate hate hate colorwork on dpns and you even have me considering them.
They are just adorable! Now you make me want to pull out my fair isle books/patterns and start doing color work again. Thanks for the inspiration!
You could make the matching socks!
Oh my gosh, they really are super cute. Very gnomey!
So cute!
Fabulous! And you’re right-I probably Do have enough colors hanging out around here to make a pair myself.
:cough: ZOMG SQUEEE! :cough:
Seriously adorable mittens!
Who knows, maybe you’ll need these for cold mornings in Rhinebeck.
Love those! It will be in the 50s in Rhinebeck, and I expect I will see gnomes.
