Mittens for Akkol is my favorite group to knit for. They can use a variety of things that I like to knit. There has been a real need for socks, but I just have not been able to knit socks lately. No matter what I try, nothing seems to work. Just as I decided that I had to get past that and knit some socks, another organization came through and donated enough socks to meet the current need. So I cheerfully cast on a pair of thrummed mittens towards the end of last week. I can't believe how fast I finished them. I also photographed the first pair of thrummed mittensthat I ever made. Both pairs will soon be on their way to Mittens for Akkol along with a really big pair of socks that I completed before the will to knit socks left me.
 | I used this pattern, which is the first pattern I ever used for thrummed mittens. My next mittens will have a gusset thumb. |
 | This is me modeling one of the first pair of thrummed mittens that I started while visiting Kim. |
>  | Just so that Kim will believe that both are done. |
 | Just in case you want to know what the inside looks like. |
