Mitten Photos, Year End Tally
Here, at last, are the photos of Dominic's Mittens
They were my final finished project of the year. I used Knit Picks Simple Stripes in Storm, knit them on size 1 needles, and basically followed the formula in the Knitter's Handy Book of Patterns, though I changed where I started the thumb, made the top about two inches shorter than they said for a child his age, and did the decreases a little differently. I think I also did the thumb a little differently than they said.
My year's finished knitting projects were:
I also ended up helping finish about 12 of the students' kites, besides the example I made. I still have two things that need photos taken of them to show here, so I'll leave them in the side bar until I get that done. Not including the extra kite bookmarks, that's 16 finished projects this year.
