Frogged Sock Becomes Mitten
My grand plans of making a sock with my handspun fell through today. I got part way into the foot (toe-up), and realized that it was going to be ridiculously thick and bulky so I ripped it out.
I have since cast on for a mitten. “Thick” and “bulky” are words that seem to go with mittens, particularly in Canada!
I’m making it up as I go along. So far I’ve incorporated interlocking cables in the white cuff, a chain design before the thumb division, and a colourwork braid in the middle of the hand.
I think these will be great for St. Patrick’s Day!
