Fingerless Mitts

Here are two quick FOs for you.

I knit the Alamosa Mitts in Elann's Peruvian Highland Sport in Christmas colors.




Here are the Backyard Bamboo Mitts (without the bamboo!) knit in Knitpicks' Palette. I used white, a solid blue, and three heathers and size 0 (US) dpns.



I started another pair of Zilboorg mittens and am working on a plain (non-stranded) scarf. That along with the first Whistler sleeve and the stranded alpaca fingerless gloves make too many projects for my comfort. I better hurry up and finish some more projects!

Backyard Bamboo Mitts

It is quite hot here so this week I'm planning to spend some serious time in this chair in the shade knitting up a storm.

Here are the fingerless mitts with a sore thumb gusset - they are the first of 4 patterns I'm doing for a booklet of stranded patterns in eco-friendly yarns due at the end of July .

These are knit in Crystal Palace's Panda Cotton which is a bamboo/cotton/nylon blend. I used 1 skein of black and periwinkle for these. I think this yarn might be fun to use for socks as well.
