Finally I’m getting around to starting the second of my Knab Fingerless Mitts. Here’s the first one:
My impetus? I joined the Knit Like A Latvian group on Ravelry. As luck would have it, there is a KAL coming up which the renowned Lzbeth Upitis will moderate. What a fun opportunity to learn how to knit a beautiful Latvian style of mitten.
The problem is, I’m all out of project bags. Which means I need to finish something to make room. I might as well finish a stranded project, and that narrows things down to theses mitts. I love all the Jamieson colors I chose for these mitts, and its fun to become re-acquainted with them. Jimmy D thinks so too. He usually reserves his yarn-mauling for alpaca. But all these balls of Jamieson made an irresistible nest.
The project happened to be in his favorite sunny spot. He rearranged the yarn until it was just right for a nap.
How cute is your kitty all sprawled on your yarn like nobody’s business! The colorwork on that mitten is beautiful! I’m too nervous to keep track of that many balls of yarn at once!

Hi Emilee. The good news is that you don’t have to keep track of all those colors at once. You only knit with two colors in a row. Once you get the hang of it, it’s a lot of fun!
Jimmy D, you’re a yarn slut! LOL! So cute.
