FO Friday: Ironwork Mitts Recap
Hurrah! I finished the pair of Ironwork Mitts that I posted about a couple of weeks ago!
I love them.
However, they are on their way to Alabama. Yes, I gave them away. It was hard, too. I wanted them for my own. Fortunately, I have enough of the same yarn to make another pair...when I can fit that in, that is. I don't see it happening anytime soon. You saw my WIP's! Well, at least some of them, anyway.
I also wanted to show you how the other yarn combo came out. While I really liked the colors together, the mitt came out extremely large. I worked the one on the right with Cascade Heritage, but against my better judgment, on size 2 needles. I also worked a small wrist gore on those as opposed to the medium gore on the one on the left. I will admit to skipping the gauge check, so I brought it on myself. After this result, I made sure to correct things by working the other pair on size 1 needles and, as mentioned, working the medium wrist gore, which makes a snugger fit. I will not be making the match for the large mitt anytime soon. Unless of course, you know anyone who needs some of these in extra large. Let me know!
I hate to leave this project--I could make several more pairs!
