These mitts knitted up so quickly, I didn’t even have time to mention them in a work-in-progress post!
Pattern: Baby Fan Mitts by Morgan Wolf (free Ravelry download)
Yarn: Malabrigo Silky Merino in Redwood Bark, used less than 1 skein
My project notes on Ravelry
Background:
Last fall and spring, I had some very cold hands while walking my dog early in the morning. I can’t put my hands in my pockets and hold her leash at the same time. And I have learned from experience that having my fingers wrapped up in full mittens or gloves is more hassle than it is worth. So when I saw this lovely Malabrigo Silky Merino yarn on sale this summer at Sandrasingh.com, I knew it would be the perfect thing for some fingerless mitts. This was my first time ordering from Sandra, and the experience couldn’t have been better. The yarn was on my doorstep before I even had time to wonder when it would arrive. I think I ordered on a Monday morning and the mailman brought the yarn on Wednesday. It was that fast. I also got a personal email from Sandra following up on the order. I highly recommend her shop.
These mitts work up fast! I only worked on them during parts of a round trip cross-country flight and an hour or two tops on the ground. I suspect I’ll be keeping this pattern in mind for quick Christmas gifts.
