I squared off the tip of the thumb and the top of the mitten, like I said I would do if I made another pair. I found the pattern actually makes them too pointy for me.
Look at these stitches...
They are near perfect...and they haven't even been blocked yet! The more I practice, the better I get. I have finished the cuff of the second mitt and have started the colour work. A complete pair is in the near future!
Thank goodness I saw a couple snow flakes fall today...I was about to drop this project and start something for spring with the balmy temperatures yesterday;)
Your tension is fabulous! No one would ever guess what a short time you've been doing this. Gorgeous mittens. I think the pointy ends are too pointy too. I'd square them too if it was me. Great job!
ReplyDeleteI love the colors you've chosen for this pair. Great work!
ReplyDeleteThose stitches ARE perfect! Nice going!
ReplyDeleteAwesome! Really great looking mittens.
ReplyDeleteGreat tension! Don't give up on the mittens for a month or so yet. We could have some more snow before Mother Nature says good bye to winter.
ReplyDeleteMitten looks great. Stitches look wonderful!
ReplyDeleteWow! I have serious stitch envy. Such wonderful work!
ReplyDeleteYour stitches really do look perfect! I wonder how you do it… I've been having problems with my stitches lately, so I'm quite envious! :-D
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful mittens and so even stitches!
