Finishing up projects 2



Mittens with a separated index finger from the rest of the hand (a variation of the tridactyl glove) knitted in Schachenmayr Alpaka on 3mm dpns in a nice herringbone pattern. Been ongoing for a long while, I'm afraid - I frogged them down to the wrist once already after completely finishing everything except the thumb. Seeing some progress now but I might need more yarn...

Finishing up projects 1

I started making a list of ongoing projects when I realised the project stack was growing and growing without anything actually getting finished. Then I prioritised them; what to finish first top3.

Here is my Top1; done today:

Tridactyl gloves with crocheted contrast edge and cable ribbing, with contrasting over-mittens for added warmth (with a matching cable pattern on the back of the hand). Carolina acrylic yarn on 4mm DPNs. They became very warm and comfy, the double layers catch lots of lovely air to heat up!
