| Faux-Cable Fingerless Mitts |
This week's knitting project:
two-at-once fingerless mitts
Now that the Christmas gifts are done, I started on making myself a pair of fingerless mitts. Not wanting to do yet another lace pattern I searched my knitting pattern book and sock patterns for something simple to work on the top and wrist areas of the mitts.
I found a nice faux-cable pattern
included in a free sock pattern, Snake River Socks, by Judy Becker at Persistent Illusion. Even though I have enough stitches to do more than one pattern repeat I decided on just a single cable design.
For these mitts I'm using Bernat Satin, plum mist heather, yarn which is 100% acrylic and two circular needles size 6US. Up to this point I had made mitts one at a time, but thought I'd try two-at-once like I do with socks. So far, its working out well. With the wrist sections done I'm getting ready to begin the thumb gusset increases.

That's a pretty color! I want to try knitting socks two at a time. I'm afraid I'll mess it up; I'm easily confused.
