Yay I finished the mitts, I actually sat out in the sun to finish them but thankfully it got chilly last night so I was able to wear them home from knit night. Here they are:
I bought these cute buttons from a charity shop for 20p, and they just work so well!!!!
I love the colour, it's come up really well in these photos too. I decided to block these on Wednesday night and I'm glad I did - they came out really well and the fit is good.
Would I make these mitts again? Yes but I think I would knock maybe a few rows off just to get an even snugger fit as I like my mitts quite tight. What have you finished off today? Go check out
Tami's blog and do some hopping.

I like tight mitts too! I love the color and those buttons make the look complete!
ReplyDeleteI really like this simple style- the button does add to it, of course, since it complements the color wonderfully. Did you just knit a rectangle and then seam it, or was there some shaping? I just learned how to kitchner on garter stitch so now I'm itching to do some experimenting and make myself a cute little pair. ^_^
ReplyDeleteLove the mitts, I think the buttons are fab.
ReplyDeleteSo pretty, and the buttons are perfect.
ReplyDeleteThe buttons work really well :)
ReplyDeleteVery nice, glad you got to enjoy sitting in the sun. There's always next year to wear them in the cold. The buttons really finished them nicely.
ReplyDeleteThey're so cute. And you're right - those are the perfect little buttons. It's a bit funny to read "thankfully it got chilly" LOL!
ReplyDeleteSweet! Very sweet your blog is! I just found it and find your kniting creations very beautiful and classic. You have some talent!
