knitting mittens

It's day 4 of creative inspiration yarn week... and we're talking mittens today.  About a month ago I announced that I would handknit a pair of mittens for one reader when I hit 10,000 page views.  Well, guess what... I made it.  Do you want to win?  All you need to do is become a follower of vintage umbrella.  Leave me a comment telling me what colors you would like.  I will choose the pattern.  Give me a couple weeks and you will have mittens waiting at your mailbox!  I'll announce the winner in a couple days!



These are some of the mittens I've knit this year.  I have a favorite formula for mittens that I would be glad to share with you if you email me.  I don't really use a pattern anymore...


They are wonderful for using up scraps of yarn.  And such a good gift... who wouldn't use them.


Sometimes I get tired of them and don't want to finish the second one... but I always do!


Come back tomorrow when I show you how to make yarn pompoms!
