I want to knit my husband another hat and I wanted to use this pattern, which is from the Komi Region in Russia. But I would knit it in muted colors: blue and charcoal. So instead of making a big old gauge swatch, I started to make a mitten. I have the same yarn in red and white. Then I started to realise that I never wear mittens, even though I love knitting them. I do wear my fingerless gloves. So I thought I would try some "fingerless?" mittens. The yarn is great: Tiur, Dale of Norway. I got it from my 93 year old grandmother who can no longer knit :-( But I am hoping to make her proud and knit some good stuff with it.
