One Thrummed Mitten
“What is that, a boxing glove?”
This mitten is looking very absurd. It is large….VERY large. I keep looking back at my photos to check that the recipient actually does have big hands. It is thick and puffy, because it is thrummed with locks of sheep fleece, which eventually should mat down a bit, but right now are VERY puffy indeed. (Thrumming instructions found here)
I did a little knitting on my lunch break today and finished up the fingertips and the thumb. It really does look like a boxing glove. I’m sure the recipient won’t mind….I bet he’s tried boxing once or twice before.
I have heard many funny comment while knitting this mitten; the funniest one was “why are you knitting a baked potato?!”
Now that’s a good question!
