H alf way done...and if you'll look closely, the upper portion has different stitches compared to the rest of the mitt, don't know what happen but I guess that's what I get when knitting and watching tv movie (The Adventures of Baron Munchausen was on) at the same time. But it seems it turns out kinda nice. When my YDD, fit the half of the mitt, she immediately shouted...I wanted another one in Pink, and my EDD, wanted one too, so I'll be making them another set.
As for the experience of knitting the mitt, the pattern is simple afterall, at first I was afraid to do it, but when I knit per row at a time, I kinda relaxed and realized there is nothing to be afraid of.
I wrote on my previous entry that I had cast it on a 3mm dpn (double-pointed needles), but decided to use 3.75mm circular needle and do the Magic Loop instead.
Doing the magic loop technique is a breeze, but knitting using circular needle, make my stitches a bit looser especially when I had to knit on the first stitch on the next needle, and it makes my hand a bit stiff, cause I hard time controlling the cables (is that what you called it?)
But as a whole, the experience is very rewarding, as I learned not to be afraid, even if the project looks a bit hard, just cast on and do the project one row at a time, and before you I know it, I have already finished half of the project. Plus the help of some fellow ravelers and designer - - of the pattern I am using..- - Rachel Calado of knittyknotty
Now my YDD, is bugging me to be done with my blogging and finish the other half of her mitt, so she can wear it to school tomorrow (Saturday), just hope I can finished it in time... :)
