I always think of mittens as meaning only the thumb has it's own separate tube (but I am from Scotland so I also refer to sweaters as jumpers)!

Almost as nice as those mitts. So, Mel... wanna do up that pattern for me??? I love love love it. You wouldn't even need to make another pair, just take some of your purty pictures of those and jot down the pattern. Aw, you’re all so nice! Almost as nice as those mitts.

Members of the Sanguine Gryphon fan club, unite! ;^) Do you find that Ravelry gives you intense caston-itis? I know I have been having a hard time focusing on single projects since I joined. So many neat NEW things to try! P.S. - Thanks for your comment! I'm washing my swatch right now and crossing my fingers that I don't have to tweak the gauge in my pattern. Oooooh, pretty!

The yarn is beautiful, and the two-end knitting seems to bring out that beauty. Is this a pattern you're working up? if so, I may have to buy it and give it a go. I love Gryphon's yarn, so the temptation is strong! Lovely mitts, Mel. The yarn is beautiful, and the two-end knitting seems to bring out that beauty.

It is a really wonderful way to work with varigated yarn. I hope it cools off enough to wear them. I've been meaning to ask you, do you know of any good spinning teachers in your area? I'm thinking about giving my mom spinning lessons for Christmas. (She lives in Durham). I tried to teach her when she was here for Rhinebeck, but I'm not a skilled enough spinner to teach her. Thanks. K I love the way that two ended knitting looks! It is a really wonderful way to work with varigated yarn. I hope it cools off enough to wear them.

(seems my english is too bad to understand that properly...*sigh*) i find myself doing this throughout the year… :o
