mitered mittens


Seems like everyone is knitting mitered mittens from Elizabeth Zimmerman's Knitter's Almanac. I love how this pattern looks in handspun. I chose some yarn I spun from Poppy Flower Fibers (Falkland in the Emi colorway). It was spun woolen for warm, lofty mittens. I followed the modifications Kathryn Ivy posted for a gusset thumb. They were a fun, quick knit. Watching handspun knit up captivates me, I really love knitting with it.
